Abstract
| This work explores strategic management practices in Islamic banks and their impact on performance within Qatar's Islamic financial sector. Financial ratios analysis was used, as the most common in the literature and among practitioners for measuring the performance of Islamic banks in Oatar. The researcher addressed these questions: Do Islamic banks practice strategic management? Do strategic management practices influence banks' performance? and Is strategic Management an important tool in Islamic banks? To address the first question, the researcher looked at the strategic management process, which includes strategy analysis, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy control and evaluation, in order to assess how far Islamic banks, adopt this process during their operations. We developed a questionnaire which was completed by decision makers at the highest level in Islamic banks. To answer the second and third questions, we measured the overall performance of the Islamic banks in Qatar through calculating five sets of financial results: namely, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, the debt-to-equity ratio, and the total debt ratio. These ratios were calculated over five years, from 2010 to 2014, chosen to avoid the financial crisis period. The findings led to the result that Islamic banks practice strategic management. Similarly, the strategic management practice has a significant effect on the banks' performance. In addition, strategic Management is an important tool for Islamic banks to consider and use. |
