The term “science” represents a claim to universality, but modern social science is based on lessons from European historical experience. Why, then, does it claim to have universal application? We suggest that Weber’s dictum that social science should be value free led to the concealment of Eurocentric values within an apparently objective framework governed by “rationality”.

Useful knowledge Versus Useless KnowledgeAsad Zaman
Islam distinguishes strongly between the two types, while Western epistemology holds that we cannot tell the difference between useful and useless knowledge. These slides explain that the difference arises because secular modern mindset considers life to be meaningless, while Islam considers our unique and precious lives to be infinitely valuable.

In 1859, as Great Britain’s Victorian era steamed into its third decade, a Scotsman named Samuel Smiles published a book titled Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character and Conduct. In it, Smiles preached “the practice of the virtues of industry, frugality, temperance, and honesty,” copiously illustrating its transformative power with “the instances of men, in this and other countries, who, by dint of persevering application and energy, have raised themselves from the humblest ranks of industry to eminent positions of usefulness and influence in society.”
Self-Help was a hit in England and farther afield; the aspiring entrepreneurs of the Meiji Restoration made it a bestseller in Japan. The book catapulted 47-year-old Smiles to gurudom, and, as is the wont of gurus, he wrote several volumes that capitalized on the popularity of his boot-strapping thesis over the next four decades. Thus, Smiles played an instrumental role in launching the broad category of business books under consideration here: self-improvement books for managers.
In addition to the literary impetus Smiles provided to would-be gurus, he anticipated this year’s most notable managerial self-improvement theme by about a century and a half. In his book Character (1871), he wrote, “In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character — not brains so much as heart — not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.” Character building and its rewards are the principal focus of two of this year’s three best business books on the theme of self-improvement for managers. The third — the best of the bunch — reminds us to take the first two with a grain of salt.

Sick industries: The reasons and remedies for it (A case study in Bangladesh)Masum Hussain
Small industrial units are the seedbed on industrial development in underdeveloped economy for its less capital involvement and more employment generation capability. But this sector cannot contribute expectedly for infection to sickness that ultimately prevents the entrepreneurial bases of economy. Sickness can be occurred in the inception period, in operation and /or in macro environment. Without the growth and development of entrepreneurship the development of country would always be unattained. It is a study through which we try to analyze the forces behind the spirit of entrepreneurship development. The study tried to explore the ambitions, compulsions, facilitations and expectations which lead them to industry, the idea generation process and motivators in that process of entrepreneurships and also the primary obstacles in entrepreneurships in Industrial estates. In this context an extensive survey is made and data have been collected from some entrepreneurs in five BSCIC industrial estate of Sylhet division in Bangladesh. From that study it is revealed that the leading ambition is making profits, compulsions are dissatisfaction in present job and unemployment and facilitating factors are technical skill and experience. The main source of idea is the entrepreneur himself and he is also the motivator in that process. Obstacle in emergence of entrepreneurship in industrial estates is revealed as the procedural hazards. Therefore it is suggested that proper counselling in presence of family members and minimizing the procedural hazards in facilitating supports should be emphasized in entrepreneurial development program. The problem of industries becoming sick, both in public and private sectors, has turned to be alarming in Bangladesh in recent years. Although the causes for closure or divestment might be many but in most of the cases continued loss played a major role. Thus the problem of industries becoming sick deserves to be treated more seriously at Government policy level as it is related to the national economy and development.
