This study examines strategic and organizational adjustment to an era of turbolence and competition by some of the world's 25 largest oil companies.
The changing business environment of the industry is described, most notably the fluctuations in oil prices from $ 10 to over $ 40 a barrel, and increasing internationalization which transformed the competitive structure of the industry.
A key feature of companies' adjustements to these changed conditions was corporate restructuring, periods of concentrated strategic and organizational transformation usually stimulated by declining profitability.The processes of strategic and structural change which are described and analyzed are of broader relevance.
The primary issues facing managers during past decade have been the need to adjust to uncertainty, instability and intense competition. The phenomena described in this study are all contemporary management themes which have been widely adopted.
