Three Forms of Knowledge and Their Views of Education
Abstract
Contemporary Islamic management scholars have agreed that values are embedded in quality management. Their agreement is grounded on the famous prophetic tradition encouraging diligence in work, uttered more than 1400 years ago, which has been narrated authentically. However, little studies have specifically indicated its application in quality management activities. As quality management is initiated in the West, little attention has been given to Islamic perspective of the discipline. However, as the Japanese had successfully implemented quality management in their cultural value perspective, many parties come to acknowledge the significance of values. In the literature, various Islamic values have been linked to quality management practice. While studies analyzing and categorizing them is limited, several values are redundant or being termed differently, though they are similar in crux. This article compiles the values and categorizes them depending on similar bases of Quranic verses or Prophetic traditions. The categorization proposes a set of Islamic values related to quality management practice, based on a simple frequency analysis matrix. Finally, this article concludes with prospects for future research.
Systematic Literature Review
Systematic review involves a structured and comprehensive search of the literature for specific types of studies outlined in explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Systematic reviews summarize information objectively, identify knowledge gaps, and often make recommendation. Systematic reviews also assist in consensus development in the absence of an objective framework for reviewing the evidence.
The purpose of this editorial is to provide guidance to EJM authors about the structure and presentation of manuscripts that are likely to be insightful and that will probably provide contributions to knowledge. 
I found this article really interesting to share. Here are some key points:
1. Failure does not ever really stop – no matter how many times you publish you still also get rejected plenty of times!
2. One thing, which may be helpful is to think of the reader when you write; the aim you have is to lead them to a particular destination. You must consider what that destination is, and how you will get them there.
3. The introduction has a pivotal role, as it needs to engage the reader with the manuscript’s content, and convince the reader about the value of its contributions.
4. It needs to concisely justify what was done and why it is important that this was done.
5. Often this is missing in a manuscript, or the reader is simply told by the author(s) that “ this is interesting”, or that “research has not been done in this area”. Of course, the latter is very often true, but alone this is not a reason for conducting the research project, nor of reading it for any other reason than general interest.
6. Yet too often introductions are too long and tend to ramble, the rationale is obscured, or the reader gets bored, or the authors lose sight of their objective. Such issues are often the result of authors’ lack of confidence in their work as much as a lack of ability to get their points across.
7. If the authors are aware of, and confident in, their contribution, the introduction is usually concise and clear.
8. The research questions must be clear and well argued in their justification, and be appropriate as objectives, propositions, hypotheses, or models.
9. Very commonly the reasons for adopting a particular method are not well argued. good reviewers recognise that there are always some limitations in the research methods that we employ, but it is the duty of the authors to demonstrate appropriateness of their method, given the research questions that they have developed.
10. The results section should be engaging as it provides the initial answers to the research questions, yet it is often extremely dry
11. The analysis results should be clearly reported. In many cases this section is one of the hardest to produce effectively, yet it plays a key role in evaluating a manuscript.
12. In weak manuscripts the final section simply restates or summarises the results. There needs to be a clear discussion about how the results contribute to knowledge and often managerial practice
13. A good article will interpret the results, discuss their importance and their implications, and relate these results back to the state of knowledge in the field. What do we know now that we didn’t know before? What are the debates in the literature, which are now closer to being resolved? How do these results influence our interpretation of prior theory?
14. Authors are well advised to try to end with something, which clearly gives the feeling that reading that manuscript was beneficial, and with some inspiration.
15. To publish in a top journal takes commitment, not just to doing great research, but to learning how to publish it. The publication process is different from the research process, and also different from the process of writing for your own enjoyment.
Happy reading, everyone!
Dalam dunia bisnis Perbankan terdapat delapan jenis risiko yang harus dikelola, diantaranya : Risiko Kredit, risiko pasar, risiko likuiditas, risiko operasional, risiko hukum, risiko reputasi, risiko stratejik dan risiko kepatuhan, yang wajib meneerapkan manajemen risiko untuk seluruh risiko yang ada (Riyadi, 2017:344-358).
Adapun dalam penilaian profil risiko pasar atau market risko adalah kerugian yang terdapat pada laporan keuangan (on Balance Sheet) dan rekening administratif (off Balance sheet) yang bersumber dari trading book dan banking book bank. Risiko pasar dari trading book adalah risiko kerugian nilai investasi yang terjadi karena melakukan dan penjaualan instrumen secara terus menerus di pasar dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan keuntungan, tetapi pada kondisi tertentu terjadi penurunan haega jual karena kondisi pasar yang tidak stabil atau fluktuatif. Sedangkan risiko yang bersumber dari banking book merupakan konsekuensi alamiah dari sifat bisnis bank yang dilakukan dengan nasabahnya, dimana sumber dana berjangka pendek sementara pemberian kredit berjangka panjang sehingga terjadi mismatch antara sumber dan penggunaannya.
Risiko pasar meliputi jenis-jenis risiko : risiko tingkat bunga, risiko nilai tukar (kurs), risiko ekuitas dan risiko komoditas, dimana penilaiannya dilakukan berdasarkan komponen risiko pasar inheren dan kualitas sistem pengendalian.

BERAPA RINGGIT KENA SAYA SEDIAKAN APABILA TESIS SAYA HAMPIR SIAP DAN PERLU KHIDMAT LUAR UNTUK MEMANTAPKANNYA?
Post saya tempoh hari mendapat banyak maklum balas dan ada yang bertanya soalan di atas.
Saya berikan jawapan ringkas ini: RM3,000 untuk mendapatkan khidmat proofreading, reference checking dan formatting. Dan jika tak pandai menterjemah untuk abstrak sendiri, RM3,000 itu pun dah cukup.
Sila baca post ini sehingga habis kerana di hujungnya ada POINT penting agar post ini lebih bermanfaat untuk lebih ramai ahli DSG.
Post ini saya nukilkan selepas lebih 4,000 orang postgrads and pensyarah saya bantu untuk jodohkan mereka dengan proofreader terbaik.
Katalah kita target untuk cari proofreader yang caj RM10 sehalaman bagi khidmat proofreading. Tesis kita ada 200 halaman.
Di situ sahaja sudah bercaj RM2,000.
Lagi RM1,000 kita peruntukkan untuk khidmat sampingan seperti reference checking, formatting, dan terjemahan abstrak.
Pecahannya lebih kurang begini:
Formatting RM2 per page × 200 pages = RM400
Reference checking RM1 per reference × 200 references = RM200
Terjemahan abstrak = RM100
Baru RM700. Ada baki RM300. Cukup sebagai persediaan jika mana2 khidmat di atas mengenakan caj sedikit tinggi daripada yang kita sasarkan.
Jika tak guna RM300 itu, boleh salurkannya untuk proses pencetakan tesis pula.
Khidmat2 yang saya sebutkan di atas penting kerana:
1. Ia boleh disumberluarkan (oursource). Lagipun kita dah buat budgeting dan dah ada wangnya.
2. Kita boleh fokus buat kerja lain yang lebih mendatangkan hasil sepanjang hidup daripada mencuba perkara yang kita buat sekali seumur hidup.
3. Biarlah orang yang berkemahiran dengannya yang mengendalikannya. Tak pening kepala kita.
Soalan yang saya jangka akan ditanya: Macam mana nak tahu proofreader akan caj RM10 per page?
Jawapannya: Dapatkan sampel dan minta sebut harga SEKARANG. Tak perlu tunggu tesis dah siap, baru terhegeh-hegeh cari proofreader. Masa tidak menunggu kita.
Caranya, hubungi mana-mana khidmat proofreading yang kita percayai dan ada recommendation daripada kawan-kawan. Minta SAMPEL proofreading dan sebut harga.
Saya akan tulis lebih lanjut pasal SAMPEL proofreading ini dan KEPENTINGANNYA dalam post akan datang.
Ada soalan?
