Malay business : revivalism through entrepreneurship / Shukor Omar

By a successful and internationally experienced Malay entrepreneur this book is a call for Malays to function more successfully in today's business world. After overviews of Malaysia's trading, political, economic and constitutional history and leadership goals, the background of the present largely problem-ridden pattern of Malay business activity is discussed. Islamic beliefs about wealth and business aims are explored and related to both Western presuppositions and the current Malay patterns and expectations. These still tend to avoid entrepreneurship. Many ways to stimulate successful entrepreneurship in the Malay context are suggested. With bibliography and index.
