No matter how much I achieve, I always dedicate my success to my professors. Thanks for always showing me hope when I was lost and distracted. Moreover, I am intellectually indebted to Christian Rupietta for always sharing honest thoughts on my research and introducing me to innovative quantitative methodological technique fsQCA.

Her meticulous comments on my research expanded the scope of my research. She made an incredible impact by sharing her vast knowledge. I must thank Diemo Urbig for his dynamic personality. His presence at JZ was a blessing for me, his networking skills and the art of asking questions was matchless. I remembered his precious words to stay focused on research methods skills and life in general. iv I thank Prof. Dr. Uzair Ahson for supervising my Master-Thesis and always sharing inspirational thoughts. I truly respect and honor my teachers Qais Aslam, Almas Hyder, Rafiq Jaffar, Imtiaz Khalid, and Bashir Naeem for discovering my potential and transforming me as a person.

In “Terrorism Studies in International Business: Increasing Knowledge, Reducing Victim- ization,” Gabriele Suder of SKEMA Business School and Michael Czinkota of Georgetown University propose that terrorism studies have become an integral part of the internation- al business (IB) literature, despite the difficulties inherent in studying the phenomenon.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
