Terrorism and Business: Threats, Effects, and Responses

Terrorism against business has a ripple effect on public interest, infrastructure, and the global economy. Presenting case studies and historical examples, this book examines which groups target which industries, why specific modus operandi are used and the ramifications of these attacks on security measures, legal implications, and additional cost. Coverage includes the responses of industry, employees, consumers, governments, non-profits, and others to terrorist incident and threat, and offers critical analysis and preventive strategy based on these responses to allow for constructive policies and practical solutions to protect staff, assets, and institutional interests.
