Strategic Leadership, Resilience, and Faith-Based Enterprise Anchored in Tawhidic Epistemology for Ummatic Excellence

Authors

Abstract

This issue of the IIUM Journal of Case Studies in Management (Vol. 17, No. 1, January 2026) brings together a powerful collection of teaching case studies that collectively illuminate how organisations, communities, and individuals navigate uncertainty, responsibility, and transformation in an increasingly volatile world. Although the contexts range from national political instability to neighbourhood micro-enterprises, logistics firms, hospitality services, and home-based food businesses, a unifying thread runs through all manuscripts: resilience is no longer purely economic—it is strategic, social, ethical, and deeply human.
