criminal organizations run their organizations highly organized, disciplined and constantly innovating. for them there is no room for error, because there is competition between organizations, and being chased by law enforcement (police, etc). mistake in a criminal organization means destruction. Besides that, in general, criminal organizations have strong leadership (authoritarian/ familial), where each member has the same perception and believes in what the leader visualizes, members of the organization can voluntarily sacrifice and die for the interests of their organization (terrorism/cartel). I think there are many more that make up the structure of criminal organizations and other factors that make them survive.
Does the organizational structure influence decisively so that criminal organizations whose purpose is to have an economic benefit can last over time?
it's kinda hard to answer this. criminal organizations are very secretive in running their business, it is difficult to go deep and conduct empirical research within their organizations. but we can see the history of criminal organizations that have existed / been exposed, how they run their business is something extraordinary, regardless of morality.
A criminal organization's structure can affect its longevity. Well-organized and hierarchical criminal organisations may achieve their goals and make more money than those without structure. A clear hierarchy improves communication, coordination, and resource allocation. A well-structured criminal organisation can quickly adapt to environmental changes and avoid law enforcement and other threats. However, other factors like adaptability, access to resources and networks, and secrecy and avoidance also contribute to criminal organisations' longevity. Thus, while organisational structure can help a criminal organisation succeed, it is not the only factor that determines its longevity.
It's true. Criminal structures allow organizations to survive. What extent?. That will be the product of my investigation. Your question about leadership in criminal enterprises is fascinating. To what extent could that leadership be transformational? Since it turns people into worse men, but more efficient for the business. I appreciate his comment. Let's keep talking.
