Abstract

The study seeks to propose a novel approach to empower Tahfiz Institutions (TIs) or Islamic-based schools by implementing an entrepreneurship business model through exploring the unique capabilities of TIs in developing countries. A conceptual framework was created to fulfil the research goals by reviewing past literature on business models promoting entrepreneurship, specifically focusing on learning institutions and society-based enterprises. The proposed entrepreneurship business model considered the unique capabilities of TIs based on the Resource-based View (RBV) and Social Entrepreneurship theories. The business model also considered the entrepreneurship education that has been mostly instilled into formal educational institutions. This study contributes to various origins. First, studies focusing on TIs and their business models were not widely documented. Secondly, the introduction of an entrepreneurial business model by way of assessing TIs capabilities and strengths could enhance understanding of TIs. Thirdly, the study may be used in developing a deeper understanding of the entrepreneurial process, identifying relevant success factors and challenges, and designing effective strategies to implement and sustain entrepreneurship initiatives that align with TI’s mission and objectives.
