Abstract
Technology entrepreneurship, a relatively new term is receiving increasing recognition from the scholars of various streams of business and science and technology disciplines, as well as from the industry players and business men practically. Technology entrepreneurship is indeed becoming vital in the current globalization and liberalization economy as it provides greater opportunities and enables effective optimization of resources to attain high profit margins. This paper presents theoretical understanding of technology entrepreneurship using Shane and Venkataraman (2003) definition of technology entrepreneurship and analysed it through the lens of Islamic principles. The technology entrepreneurship factors are analysed using eight key dimensions: awareness and search from the context factor; strategy and core competency from the firm factor; technology paradigm and linkages from the technology factor; and learning and leadership from the entrepreneur factor; and also from Shariah aspects that represent high values in the conduct and behavior of Muslim entrepreneur. This study believes that the proposed framework adds to the existing literature on entrepreneurship and Islam.
