abstract="In January 2007, the Algerian SGPC announced its allegiance to Al-Qaeda under the name of AQIM. From 2007 to 2009, AQIM launched a campaign of suicide bombings and hostage takings, following Al-Qaeda's modus operandi. In using Richard Scott model of complex organizations, we show, through a comparative analysis of Al-Qaeda cognitive, normative and regulative pillars with those of AQIM, that AQIM failed in its attempt to merge with Al-Qaeda. Indeed, despite its name, AQIM is still mainly an Algerian organization, just using Al-Qaeda as a label.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
