Abstract/Summary:
The present research seeks to answer the question of "How Do Terrorist Organizations Innovate?" An analysis is performed on terrorist organizations by borrowing factors from organizational and innovation theories such as: cost, returns on investment, efficiency, risk and uncertainty, complexity, leadership, environment, goals, and crisis situations. All these factors are affecting how public and private organizations innovate, and through this study one can observe that terrorist organizations' innovation can be affected in the same way. Each of these factors is analyzed for each of the terrorist type of innovation: technological, tactical, strategic and organizational.
