...Table of Contents Introduction 4 The Value Chain 4 Operations 5 Outbound logistics 5 Technology 6 Core Competencies 6 Conclusion 7 References 9 Introduction Chevron Corporation is multinational energy organization engaged in every facet of the oil, natural gas and thermal energy industries. Its downstream operations include selling products such as fuels, lubricants and petrochemicals to the global market. Chevron’s success is greatly driven by their vision ‘to be the global energy company most admired for its people, partnership and performance’ (Chevron Corporation, 2015), reflecting their initiative towards being socially responsible as well as their ambition towards exceeding expectations. Despite growing concerns towards using more renewable forms of energy, Chevron has been able to maintain its competitive position of #3 on the Fortune 500 by establishing new joint ventures internationally and undergoing mass long-term projects to ramp up their production growth. The Value Chain Operations One of the key elements to Chevron’s growing success is their planning towards making long-term decisions such as multiple billion-dollar takeovers and projects, as well as Chevron maintaining their core operations around refining crude oil into petroleum products. Doing this helps the company to remain results oriented, rather than confirming to the demands of lobby groups (Corddry, 2015). Chevron’s long-term exploration and production strategies...

...Discussion Topic 1.1 & 1.2 In reply to Stephanie Soenarto, I get that question a lot from my family and friends, “What is your plan after you graduate” and I can proudly say that I will go back to Indonesia and become someone who can change people’s opinion about designer. Indonesia is a developing country; I still remember 8 years ago before I came to the US people there still think designer (or even programmer) is a low income job. In order for me to land a very good job in Indonesia or to open my own firm, I have to have a lot of experience in the US. Right now I’m doing as much freelance work as possible. Sometimes my teacher offered me internship for the summer. I want to be excellent in both designing and developing. I don’t have a computer science degree but I’m studying developing as much as I can. Having a great resume and an awesome portfolio are definitely important to land a good job. Those are two things that company see when you apply for a job. But I believed that the way you present yourself when the company interviewed you will make a lot of difference too. I have to say that interview is not really my strength. I’m not exactly a people person and I hope that I can change that. Since I don’t have a family in the US, Commuting is not a problem for me, I don’t mind driving 1-2 hours to work. Everyone wants a good salary but I think for now salary is not a huge factor for now. I don’t mind being an unpaid intern. What I want to get right is as much...
