Abstract

Future studies as an efficient tool, in analyzing the trends and factors affecting the rapid changes of social phenomena, draws probable future scenarios. By analyzing the sources, patterns and factors of change and stability, this approach puts new horizons of the future in front of us (exploratory futures) and outlines the requirements to achieve it (normative futures). In the meantime, Islamic humanities have not benefited from this future research capacity and in this research, we are going to examine the research process of one of its examples, that is, Islamic management. In this article, two frameworks are presented for preparing the research scenario: the first scenario focuses on security, avoiding adverse consequences and fulfilling obligations. And the second scenario of research is done in the framework of the existing knowledge of management, considering the necessary changes. The first one deals with the research in management with adaptation under the existing structure of management knowledge while making changes and the second one not under the existing structure of management knowledge but with a new form. This study helps the researchers to adopt a revolutionary strategy in the field of adaptation or formation, considering the future developments.
