Overview

The halal industry is a fast-growing industry due to demographics and industry expansion. Halal certification of products, outlets, and services is essential for doing business in Muslim-majority countries.

Halal excellence needs measurement through adopting the right key performance indicators, to protecting your halal reputation and licence to operate in Muslim markets.

"This book is written by an expert who understands the complexity of halal and has widely contributed to the subject through his previous publications. Halal Business Management offers a practical guide for organisations and professionals serving Muslim markets." - Professor Mohammad Hashim Kamali, Professor and Founding CEO, International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies, Malaysia

"If you want to enrich your halal business management knowledge and experiences, you need this book. It gives you proven, practical strategies to guide you and it has triggered fundamental improvement around the globe.

"This publication is the first course outline for Halal Business Management to help decide whether or not to introduce Halal certification, and the best practices connected to it, into your business plan; or how to excel at it if you are already Halal certified. It also highlights the weak areas that need to be addressed, with emphasis on training throughout the organisation for end-to-end Halal assurance. I would suggest beginning with the Epilogue where you can read the overview of the course, and then decide your answer to the final question: Are you ready for Halal Excellence?" - Salama Evans, Managing Editor, HalalFocus.com

"Halal Business Management is a must-read comprehensive guide to excellence. Both newcomers and those already in business will find clear explanations and illustrative examples on the main topics related to Halal Trade. Starting with Halal Certification, which remains a topic of debate, the Guide provides an overview of other, often neglected, but equally relevant issues, such as Halal Supply Chain Management, Branding and Marketing and the sensitive issue of Halal Risk and Reputation, where Dr. Tieman shares his valuable expertise in the field. A much needed critical approach to this expanding market and its complexities." - Dr. Barbara Ruiz-Bejarano, Instituto Halal
