Description

This book examines broad questions of industrial change in order to explain developments in the oil industry.

In contrast to most other work on this industry, firms are considered to be the dependent variables rather than the future production and demand for oil and gas.

An analysis of the industry is made by examining how corporations change their operating environments and are themselves changed by their environments.

Particular attention is paid to 'mega-mergers' and to industrial downsizing and outsourcing.

The significance of such restructuring for the societies the companies serve is also considered and comprehensive use is made of recent theories of the firm.

It shows how such theories can be used to analyze a key world-wide industry. The distinctive approach of this book will help extend readers' understanding of the oil industry beyond the more conventional studies.
