While we know a lot about the structure and operation of Islamic financial institutions, information on Islamic non-financial corporations is very limited. This book combines technical as well as non-technical information on Islamic listed corporations and their structures and strategies, from several dimensions. The contents of this book will be particularly useful for academics to get an in-depth view of Islamic corporate finance, with evidence garnered from around the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Professor Dr. Habib Ahmed, Durham University, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn recent years the Islamic financial services industry has seen astonishing, double-digit global growth, mostly in the form of financial firms (Islamic banks, microcredits, and others).
