    (CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2017-12) Hoque, Nazamul; Khan, Mohammad Aktaruzzaman; Bhuiyan, Mohammad Zahid Hossain
    This study examines the contribution of CSR programs of multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in Bangladesh in the poverty alleviation. The authors employed a mixed-method approach to collect qualitative data by interviewing executives of ten MNEs while for quantitative data annual reports, websites, and articles were consulted. Results depicted insignificant contribution of MNEs in poverty alleviation by their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The average contribution of sample MNEs stand at only 0.52 per cent of profits after tax to CSR programs, ranging from 2.96% to 0.15%. The study reveals that most of the MNEs are not contributing as per their financial capacity and they lack a policy of donating a reasonable portion of profit to CSR along with poverty alleviation priority. The study suggests that government of Bangladesh must act sincerely and deliberately for active involvement of MNEs in CSR programs helpful for poverty alleviation by necessary policy framework and motivational supports with a view to accelerate the poverty alleviation movement for a happy, prosperous, and progressive Bangladesh.

    Industrial Relations: An Islamic Approach
    (CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2011-12) Hoque, Nazamul
    Industrial relations (IR) have been found to have a significant impact on the organizational performance. Good industrial relation is the outcome of integrated and just efforts of employer, managers, workers, and state. Since Islam is a complete code of life, all Muslims must abide by the rules and regulations of Islam in developing and maintaining industrial relations. But lack of adequate Islamic guidelines regarding IR is one of the very important constraints to the way of practicing it from Islamic point of view in the Muslim world. So this study is an attempt to minimize the gap found therein. In this study some fundamental principles of Islamic IR are developed along with the specific roles of employers, managers, workers, and state from Islamic perspectives. If all parties perform their roles as per the guidelines of this study it is expected that each and every party would be benefited highly through developing good IR both here and here after.
