Answer to Question 2

The main reason terrorist organizations must become a learning organization is to maintain its own longevity. It an organization becomes stagnant, it is a much easier target for destruction and much more likely to dissipate . Terrorist organizations need to acquire new knowledge, be nimble when faced with new situations and to think outside the box. Since the 9/11 attacks al-Qaeda has splintered and at the same time become an umbrella organization. The splintering has allowed smaller cells to attack targets without being as easily detected . The text book provides the example of the U.S. using drone attacks which forced the al-Qaeda to change their training strategy. If al-Qaeda did not change their training strategy, it could possibly become the end of al-Qaeda. Examples on the learned behavior of al-Qaeda will vary.
