Abstract

This article presents the research profile of Waqeem Akram in connection with the Best Researcher Award. His recent journal articles examine emerging applications of artificial intelligence in business management [1], the role of leadership in financial and credit management for organizational stability [3], and the influence of digital media on religious literacy in Southeast Asia [2].

Keywords

Artificial intelligence, business management, systematic literature review, leadership, financial management, credit management, organizational stability, digital mediation, religious literacy.

Introduction

Research in management increasingly considers how technology and leadership practices shape organizational outcomes. Waqeem Akram’s publications contribute to this discussion through review-based and analytical studies. His ORCID record lists three journal articles published in 2026, produced in collaboration with several co-authors [4].

Research Profile

Akram is affiliated with the School Education Department, and his subject area is business, management and accounting. His public profile currently records three documents, no citations and an h-index of 0, which is consistent with a recently established publication record. His work centers on the following themes [4]:

  • Artificial intelligence applications in business management
  • Leadership, finance and credit management in international firms
  • Digital transformation of religious literacy

Research Contributions

Akram and co-authors conducted a systematic thematic literature review of artificial intelligence in business management, identifying emerging applications, research gaps and directions for future inquiry [1].

A second study considers how leadership contributes to financial and credit management and to organizational stability in international firms [3].

A third article, a critical analytical review, examines how digital mediation of the Quran has transformed religious literacy in modern Southeast Asia [2].

Research Impact

The publications address topics of current interest to practitioners and scholars, including technology adoption in organizations and leadership in financial decision-making [3]. Because all three articles were published in 2026, citation metrics remain minimal, and their scholarly influence is expected to become clearer as later bibliometric data accumulate.

Award Suitability

Akram is considered suitable for the Best Researcher Award on the following grounds:

  • Three journal articles published within a single year [4]
  • Contemporary topics spanning management, finance and digital society
  • Systematic review methodology applied to emerging fields [1]
  • Collaborative authorship with multiple co-researchers

Conclusion

Waqeem Akram’s research shows a developing and varied focus on management, finance and digital transformation. His recent articles on artificial intelligence in business and on leadership in financial management illustrate a growing publication record, and his nomination for the Best Researcher Award recognizes the relevance of this work [1][3].
