Based on this rough outline, create two competing hypotheses on these two organizations. Hezbollah vs ISIS. Consider all of the information provided below.
The role of charismatic leadership vs building a great organization
Chrematistic leadership: ISIS
Violence non state actors that are relatively more successful is by enlarge a result of a charismatic leadership.
Vs: Generally strong organizations
Look at things like: What is charismatic leadership? Keep people together
The organization that has overcome the assignation of leaders: HAMAS and Hezbollah
What do these organization do differently to make them survive?
Is it the alliance policy that makes these organization to survive (HAMAS and Hezbollah)
Isis= what explains the ability of isis to sustain itself independent of state sponsor
Hezbollah has adopted an alliance part and ISIS is self-funded
I want you to create two competition hypothesis on following two organizations:
ISIS vs Hezbollah
Is ISIS successful because of good management? How would you know good management if you saw them
Is it the ability to run large run organization but there is an efficacy aspect to it?
What is the scope of the organization
What is the business aspect of ISIS?
Are leaders of ISIS Running a good war business? Can the efficacy of ISIS be replicated by other jihadist organizations? Or is ISIS just an anomaly?
Hezbollah is using the alliance pattern. Which is, they ally themselves with governments (iran, Syria, and Lebanon)
If ISIS is successful, would it lead to more non state actors?
Alliance pattern of Hezbollah vs self funded operations of ISIS
Independence with self funded- but does it take a really high order of management ?
Is there a level of complexity between one operations to another. Who is running these operations in ISIS?
How complicated are they
One is an alliance model and the order is a self funded model. The organizational
This is no longer about state sponsor
Bucreatic competence
Is it on par with the alliance model
Freelance operator
Isis is an anamoly right now.
Level of organizational competence is it = to what it takes to run Hezbollah If they are roughly competence this is a big deal.
You can’t solve this definitely. These two states are weak.
