Ma`rifat Modiriyati

The purpose of this article is to compare the managerial thoughts of Allameh Misbah Yazdi and Shahid Sadr, two prominent Muslim figures. Bardy's comparative study method has been used to analyze and compare their ideas. The main sources used are the four books that contain the main views of these two thinkers on this topic. The findings show that these thinkers emphasize on the intellectual foundations and their role in management knowledge. They also explain the diversity of content and the difference between descriptive and prescriptive propositions of management. Allameh Misbah deems it necessary to produce prescriptive statements but Shahid Sadr emphasizes on producing descriptive statements about subjects. By combining these two ideas, a coherent and new conceptual model can be extracted and used for solving management problems. A combination of these two points of view makes it possible to simultaneously use goodness of action and goodness of intention for solving management problems
