The Imam Sadiq University is an islamic private university in Tehran, Iran. Established in 1982, the goal of the university is to bridge the gap between Islamic researches and modern studies, especially humanities.[1] Imam Sadiq was established on the premises that used to house the Harvard School of Management until the 1979 Iranian Revolution.[2]

The university is regarded as one of the elite universities in Iran that has played a prime role in recruiting politicians and other prime figures in the Islamic Republic. As an elite institution, Imam Sadiq University is significantly more autonomous than other Iranian universities in inviting and employing lecturers.[2] Prominent reformist thinkers such as Abdolkarim Soroush, Hossein Bashiriyeh, Javad Tabatabaei have been given space to propound their own ideas in humanities.[3][4][5][6]

The university offers BA, MA, and Ph.D. degrees in fields such as political science, economics, Islamic jurisprudence, law (private law, public law, criminal law, international law), management, and communications. It has eight colleges in operation.

Islamic Knowledge and Management Faculty

The Islamic Knowledge and Management(IKM) is the fifth Faculty of Imam Sadiq University which was established in 1989 with the aim of leading Islamic studies in the field of management and educating executive directors in the administration of Islamic countries. The faculty consists of four departments with activities in the fields of public administration and policymaking, business administration, financial management, and industrial management.

Over the years, the faculty has sought to create suitable ground for the growth of interdisciplinary studies in Islamic management through the gathering of specialist professors in Islamic knowledge and management from across the country. The students simultaneously study the fields of Islamic knowledge and management. By integrating these two fields innovatively, the background for exploiting religious principles in management is provided. Consequently, several groups of students who have graduated from this college are now active in theorizing on Islamic management, and in providing training in and implementing Islamic management patterns. So far, 700 students have graduated from this department and are providing services in important executive and academic jobs. The Faculty of Islamic Knowledge and Management of Imam Sadiq University is a suitable center for the development of Islamic management studies. Imam Sadiq University hopes to create an effective network of Islamic management scholars by building relations with other scholars in this field around the world, so that opportunities are provided for the development of integrated and interdisciplinary activities in this important field of science.
