Pollution Event

The Deepwater Horizon Oil-Spill is the most disastrous environmental pollution event in America's history. The film Deepwater Horizon, which takes the title exactly matches the name of the incident, explains the backgrounds of the catastrophe. This film shows that the accident occurred due to the negligence of British Petroleum as a company that manages the Deepwater Horizon rig. To reveal the role of the film in United States environmental diplomacy, the researcher will use the Deepwater Horizon film as a case study and the concept of environmental diplomacy as a unit and research analysis tool. This study uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques, such as literature surveys and observations. This research argues that media is an essential component that plays a role in environmental diplomacy.

The Relationship

Recently, an increasing amount of research and literature has focused on knowledge management, organizational learning and virtual teams. Building on Parsons 1950s and 1960s work around general Theory of Actions, this paper uses Schwandt’s (1994; 1995; 1999) dynamic organizational learning model that considers both cognition and action, as a framework, to explore the factors that a virtual project team (the British Petroleum Knowledge Management Team) used to contribute to a multi-national’s learning, along two-dimensions: structural and sense-making dimensions.Despite a growing body of literature in both organizational learning and groupware research, there are few studies on the relationship between the two areas. Exceptions are the empirical study of a groupware implementation by Riggs, Bellinger and Krieger (1996) and Neilson’s (1997) case study exploring the influence of a collaborative technology – this three year case study on BP’s virtual team provides new, qualitative insights into previously unexplored areas of research in the knowledge management discipline.

Safety Standards

Maritime security still focuses on the territorial sovereignty of a country. Environmental disasters and transboundary humanitarian crimes that occur at sea are a challenge for International Relations academics to reformulate maritime security. British Petroleum (BP) is negligent in implementing safety standards in oil exploration and exploitation in the Gulf of Mexico, United States resulting in oil leakage on the Deepwater Horizon platform. This research uses the Deepwater Horizon case study in exploring the relevance of maritime security in the prevention and management of marine pollution disasters. Primary data sources were taken from observations of researchers in seminars related to the Deepwater Horizon and secondary data were obtained from journals, electronic news and official reports from the US Government. There are two findings obtained. First, contemporary maritime security is much more complex than traditional maritime security and second, contemporary maritime security involves an element of justice seeking as demonstrated by the United States Court's decision against BP regarding negligence in the Deepwater Horizon.   Keywords: Maritime Security, United States of America, Deepwater Horizon, British Petroleum

Integration Strategy

Post-merger and Acquisition (M&A) integration often deals with significant transformational changes of merging companies in terms of development, communication, implementation and harmonization of a new shared vision, strategic objective, corporate culture, and also combination of best companies’ value practices. The transformational change is accentuated on facilitating the role of developing and executing an effective post-M&A Integration to build change cohesively with the strategic management of M&A, and also in terms of removing barriers to the success of M&A transaction. The aims of this study are to give a clear and deep understanding on how to manage the soft factors issues that address in M&A process especially in the post-M&A integration process and also to elucidate the critical success factor of M&A process by instilling the best characteristics and the effectiveness level of leadership aspect in M&A. The methodology used in this research is descriptive qualitative research with a method or approach of a case study of Henkel’s Acquisition of The Dial Corporation in 2004. The acquisition of a USA company Dial by a German company Henkel evidenced that both companies were successful in M&A transaction and employed the effectiveness of multi-culture integration strategy. Another case study used in this research is British Petroleum (BP) and American Oil Company (Amoco) (also Atlantic Richield Company (ARCO) and Burmah Castrol) in 1998-2000. The case of BP Amoco showed that the monoculture integration strategy or cultural imposition can also lead to a value creation. Both case studies showed that successful integration requires leadership as a foundation to build a solid execution of post-M&A integration projects in how they planned, communicated and delivered the objectives of the projects.

Post Period

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), the largest private sector company in India, invested in oil and gas fields by winning the bid under New Exploration and Licensing Policy in the year 1999 and aspired to exploit the growing Indian energy market. Though RIL developed the KG-D6 gas blocks in record time, soon after, it was engulfed with some issues like lack of technical expertise, geological complexities and huge capital expenditures. To tackle these issues RIL was hunting for a partner with technical expertise. Meanwhile, British Petroleum (BP) was also grappling with some serious hurdles and eyeing for a new market. India was the best bet for BP as it has recognized the potential of the subcontinent and its earlier stint with RIL inspired BP to invest in India. This case study analyses whether the much-anticipated deal was successful or not. This case study discusses the entire background, issues and difficulties encountered by RIL and BP prior to the deal. Further, we investigate the impact of the deal on RIL by analyzing its operational efficiency, financial performance and stock gains in the pre and post period of the alliance. This is an analytical case study based on the secondary databases, where it analyses the various pros and cons of the alliance between RIL and BP.

The paper presents a critical discourse analysis of the website of one of the world’s major oil companies, Beyond Petroleum (BP), formerly British Petroleum, with the focus on investigating the construction of BP’s corporate identity. The analysis reveals that BP enacts multiple positive discursive roles, including the identities of an indispensable organization, a philanthropist, an environmentally conscious company, an explorer, a researcher, an educator and an American dream achiever. These roles serve as a potent legitimizing strategy since they enable BP to be associated with higher social and moral values. The analysis shows that BP’s environmentally protective ethos adopts the ideology of the domination of human beings over nature through technology, an ideology which is suited to the company’s profit-making purpose.

Crucial Ingredient

This chapter contributes to the understanding of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC, now British Petroleum) practices in Iran and provides a clear picture of how nationalisation evolved on 1st May 1951. Nationalisation brought into sharp focus issues affecting key AIOC stakeholder groups, including Iranian employees, Iranian government, and UK investors, which became the subject of claim and counter-claim from the AIOC board and Iranian nationalist opinion. As a consequence of these disputed claims, a propaganda battle became a crucial ingredient of the crisis, not least because a key objective of the AIOC management was to defend itself from the claims. In fact, this was crucial in absolving the company from any blame for the international crisis. As a result, in considering the above effects, by using AIOC as a case study, a textual analysis of the Chairman’s Statement to Shareholders is conducted, and the validity of the Statement is reappraised with reference to historical evidence.
