The Islamic market is estimated at about 1.8 billion consumers and 2.0 trillion dollars in 2010. In the wake of the global financial crisis we are witnessing a challenge to traditional economics and business models, and the emergence of an Islamic model.
With this background in mind, the inaugural Global Islamic Marketing Conference 2011 seeks to define new key areas of exploration in the field of Islamic marketing and to further existing research in the area of Islamic business in general. The conference will bring together scholars and practitioners from around the world.
The Faculty of Business & Economics, United Arab Emirates University in collaboration with Emerald Group Publishing are pleased to invite academics, managers, policy makers and practitioners to submit papers to the Global Islamic Marketing Conference.
