BUSINESS AND TERRORISM

After the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, September 11, the Madrid train bombings, the London Underground bombings and too many other tragedies, this topic will look at the effects of terrorism on businesses around the world--from New York, to Bombay, to London, Madrid, across the Middle East and Africa, and beyond. Do terrorists specifically target executives and the infrastructure of business? How does business respond? What can governments do to help?
