Evaluation of the Long-Term Approach in Strategic Management Literature from Imam Ghazali's Perspective

Abstract

In this article, the works of the Islamic thinker Imam Ghazali are evaluated in the context of strategic management. The field of business is not only a field in which scientific studies on managerial practices are carried out, but also expresses a scope in which the primary sources of thinkers or writers can be studied. Because, primary source works, which can be subject to management or business and can be dealt with theoretically, provide a rich data source in terms of research or examinations. In this article, which is based on the basic understanding in question, the subject of "long ambition", which is frequently handled in Ghazali's works, has been tried to be discussed in the context of strategic management approach. A study focused on what kind of views Ghazali put forward that can be an alternative to the long-term approach, which is one of the main concepts of today's strategic management literature. In the article, Ghazali's views, as an approach that is different from the long-term perspective in the strategic management literature, and that argues against this understanding in many respects, are emphasized. The article, which was conducted as a qualitative research, was designed in accordance with the document review. Depending on the document analysis, the source works written by Ghazali have been the subject of scrutiny. In the article, the narratives in Ghazali's books and treatises were compared with the perspective of today's strategic management literature. Ghazali's views, which he based on religion, are discussed in the narratives in which analytical explanations, interpretations and evaluations are made. It has been tried to reveal the differences between the opposing perspectives by making the explanations of the transfer and explanations in the field of strategic management. In this way, Ghazali's views on the subject of the article were tried to be explained by establishing a connection with the conceptual framework in the context of strategic management.
