Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion with around 1.5 billion followers worldwide – nearly a quarter of the world’s population.

We are in a golden age for Islamic marketing and business. The Islamic market is estimated at about 1.8 billion consumers and was worth 2 trillion dollars in 2010. This constitutes an enormous market where Islamic values have helped shape the societal structures, culture and legal norms that influence consumer preferences and behaviour. In many cases, Islamic customers and businesses think and act outside the conventions of "Western Business" theory and practice.

At Emerald we pride ourselves on being at the leading edge of scholarly research and have a strong commitment to innovation and quality in publishing by responding to market needs for journals in new and evolving areas. For these reasons we are introducing a number of new and insightful titles.

To help you better understand the Islamic perspective on business, Emerald has launched several titles with an Islamic focus:

• International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management
• Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research
• Journal of Islamic Marketing
• Education, Business and Society: Contemporary Middle Eastern Issues
• Islamic Economics and Finance: An Epistemological Inquiry
