Dinar StandardT
targets the particular needs of the
Muslim world, yet many of the insights
and resources do apply to the broader
global business community.
We
define Muslim Business as domestic companies
based in the OIC (Organization of Islamic
Conference) member countries, or a business
that has an Islamic aspect to them such
as Islamic products or services (e.g.
Qibla Cola in U.K), or a management
team applying a corporate culture based
on Islamic values.
In
certain cases such as our exclusive
rankings (e.g. the DS 100, Top
100 Businesses of the Muslim World),
we only include domestic companies of
the OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference)
member countries.
For
the global business community much can
be learned from the challenges and opportunities
covered here. For example, the Malaysian
Islamic Finance industry, being the
biggest of the $200 billion plus Islamic
Finance market, has 80% of its clients
from outside the Muslim world. In addition,
many of the multi-nationals from outside
the Muslim world are also entering this
"ethnic market."
