The Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse

An Analysis

Text Linguistics of Qur'anic Discourse: A Text Analysis offers one of the first comprehensive investigations in the new academic discipline of Qu'ranic text linguistics, applying Western linguistics theory to Qur'anic discourse. Its informed and detailed analysis of Qur'anic discourse covers key elements including (i) the texture of the macro Qur'anic text, (ii) the cohesion and coherence systems of the Qur'anic text, (iii) the major notions of the macro Qur'anic text such as intertextuality, semantic relatedness, and thematic sequentiality, (iv) the macro Qur'anic textual features of ellipsis and repetition, and (v) the contextual, co-textual, grammatical, and semantic factors involved in the macro Qur'anic text. The value of European theoretical linguistics to the analysis of the Qur'anic text at a macro level has been overlooked in the academic literature to date. This book addresses this research gap, providing a key resource for students and scholars of linguistics and specifically working in Arabic or Qur'anic Studies.

Qur'anic Christians

An Analysis of Classical and Modern Exegesis

The Muslim perception of Christianity and Christians is an issue of longstanding debate among scholars of both Islam and Christianity. In this book, Jane McAuliffe analyzes a series of passages from the Qur'^D=an that make ostensibly positive remarks about Christians. She conducts this analysis through a close examination of Muslim exegesis of the Qur'^D=an, spanning ten centuries of commentary. In this effort to trace various interpretations of these passages, the author attempts to determine whether these positive passages can justifiably serve as proof-texts of Muslim tolerance of Christianity.

Strategic Management

An analysis with regard to a game theoretic perspective

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The growing or at least steady stream of literature that has been published in recent years on the variety of issues known as strategic management , both in the form of books and journal articles, some of them more, some less scientific, is ample evidence of the interest the management community takes in the subject. Likewise, game theory has experienced a surge in popularity, not only because the1994 Nobel-price was awarded to JOHN HARSANYI, JOHN NASH and REINHARD SELTEN for their contribution to the refinement of game theory but also with regard to the influence it has had on the social sciences during the last two decades, primarily on economics but also on other fields such as psychology or political science. Surprisingly, however, there is little, if any, literature available on the combination of game theory and strategic management, even though game theory is concerned with finding solutions to strategic problems, its terminology (bargaining, power, cooperation etc.) also being very suggestive of applications to business strategy. The consequent question then has to be: is there a need to investigate the subject further and why might it be beneficial? Strategy is a wide field and so is game theory. Therefore the purpose of this essay cannot possibly be to explore the intricacies game theory has to offer nor can it be to investigate the depths of strategic management. Rather, it is to examine, whether game theory can be fruitfully applied to the problems faced within strategic management. In order to further narrow the topic down, there are various angles from which to approach strategic management and game theory . For instance, one way might be to assume that underlying strategic management as an academic discipline are various fundamental questions, which game theory is prepared to answer. One such question is How do firms behave? . Alternatively, one might view game theory as a set of tools assisting the strategist in finding practical solutions to specific problems within a strategic context. Here, one could think of Should we enter this particular market in order to challenge the incumbent firm? or How can we deter our competitors from starting a price war? , How should we organise the process of strategy formation? and the like. In this paper my emphasis will be on the latter approach, in the style of Can game theory assist the general manager in coping with strategic issues arising from his daily [...]

My intention in following this procedure is not so much to prove(claim) any
approach right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate, nor is it to give a detailed
overview of the current trends or the historical development in the field of
strategic management. Rather, it is to demonstrate that strategy is highly eclectic
by nature and I think it has become clear, that this eclecticism is inevitably
mirrored in the tasks of the general manager. To sum up what we have so far:
strategic management is ...

Azzam added that we fully accept and rely on the first part of this principle, but
concerning its second part, he asserted that the prohibitive evidence pertaining to
civil and commercial transactions must not be anything less than decisive. This is
because the fundamental permissibility of such transactions is based on decisive
evidence, that is, the principle of ibāhah, and. * Al-Mawsu'ah al-Ilmiyyah wa al-'
