...PREFACE As a part of the course curriculum, the second year MBA students are required to undertake a study on macro analysis of a particular industry and thereby, prepare a project report on the chosen industry. The objective behind preparing this project report is to relate the management subjects taught in the classroom to their practical application and to get insight into practical situation. Petroleum Industry is considered to be the back bone of an economy because this is the main source of energy till date. Any economy around the world would fail to advance a single step in the absence of Petroleum Industry. The Petroleum Industry is divided into two segments namely Upstream Sector consisting of Exploration and Production of crude oil while the Downstream Sector consists of Refining, Processing, Storing, Marketing and Distribution of petroleum products. The most important part of the Petroleum Industry is the Petroleum Refining Industry which refines the crude oil to convert it to the usable fuel. It also derives many derivative products out of the crude petroleum like natural gas, naphtha, etc which can be used in various ways. Hence, for these reasons, we have chosen the Downstream Sector of the Indian Petroleum Industry for our Macro Analysis project. As this is a Macro Analysis project, we have concentrated on the Indian Petroleum Industry and that too focusing on the Downstream Sector for our study and not gone into the in depth analysis of the various...

...plays in our nation’s ambitions for a clean and sustainable energy future. Due to recent technological advances in horizontal drilling techniques, the vast natural gas reserves found within the shale formations underground in the United States have become easily accessible. Responsible development of these resources is believed to be key to a sustainable financial, and environmentally prosperous future for America. However, recent environmental and health concerns beg to differ, and question whether these new developments pose more of a threat to americans than they are worth. Nature sustains life on our planet. Humans have developed an organization of society that runs on machines. What does it take to run the machines that power our world? Our society also runs on money. So anything that plays into the running of our society must must invariably be tied to how it profits the people in charge of running things. How does it benefit us as a whole? This question is larger than the debate which this paper addresses, yet it is valid in that it is an overarching theme that drives the situation behind the issues within. A big part of what our economy has deemed is important in order to sustain the current level of comfort that we have been sold is largely based on non-renewable energy sources such as oil, coal, and gas. It is a very competitive world. Our level of comfort is key to maintaining an edge over our competitors on the global financial stage. Deep within the earth, there...

The advantage was that knowing price of gas for early part of any project eliminated a major uncertainty and made easier to raise finance. * In 1994, Enron was operating power and pipeline project in 15 countries * To get round the problem of large number of small producers who lack of capital, Enron provided liquidity by prepaying long term fixed price gas supplies with the payment secured on the gas itself. They pay Enron in gas rather than cash. * After obtaining exemption, Enron began buying and selling electricity. The company was free to choose which part to operate not necessary be generator or transporter. One could source electricity from generators and rent transmission capacity. * Rebecca mark favored investment in traditional power generating asset while skilling favored an “Asset light”.

...rapidly. With increased international development and cooperation, the MNCs have been able to create such a network that their budgets, organizational structure and influence on the world trade stage rivals many nations [ (UN Conference Proceedings, 2006) ]. With their immense economic power and strong political connections and the fact that globalization is seen as a “Business driving phenomenon”, MNCs are in a strong position to influence the economies of the countries they operate in [ (Nourafchan, 2011) ]. Today, MNCs not only impact the trade and the economy of the nation in which they operate but also impact the social and cultural aspects. In the world energy market dominated by oil, the role of multinational companies in the oil exploration and supply has been tremendous. As oil became the most important commodity in the energy market, the...

...Did you know that all the companies in America have something in common? They are all operating in an environment of forces that create both threats and opportunities for their businesses. These environmental forces, which make up something known as the "macroenvironment", include: demographic, economic, natural, technology, political and cultural. Since the macroenvironment is generally uncontrollable, businesses often must find ways to adapt to the constant changes. For example, over the past few years, the auto industry has been affected tremendously by changes in the technology, natural, and political environments and therefore forced to change their marketing strategies. The Technology Environment Kotler identifies the technology environment as the most powerful force affecting and shaping the future (83). The environment consists of: industrial productivity, new manufacturing processes, new products and services of competitors, new products and services of supply chain partners, and any new technology that could impact a company (Environmental Scanning). Technology has been responsible for developments such as the internet, computers, laser surgery, organ transplants, antibiotics and more (Kotler, 83). While advances in technologies are creating new markets and opportunities they are also replacing older technologies. Companies that do not keep up with these changes will find their products or services become obsolete and not up-to-date with the consumer buying behaviors...

...Motivation letter “The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think” – Albert Einstein, 1921 First of all, I selected IMRE program because of its primary focus on business administration with specialized topics in environment and resource management. The programme covers the courses, such as Business Management, International and resource economics and Multicultural communication, that interest me the most. As a future business leader I must be an expert in these fields, capable of analyzing and solving any practical problems I may face. I am certain that numerous management tasks and projects as well as case assignments I will take part in during this programme will help me overcome various engagements I will encounter throughout my future career as a manager. My current goal is to start and develop my own business. After doing some research into Russian post-secondary programmes, I realised that this country cannot offer me the education I need to achieve this goal. The level of specialisation here is quite poor and teaching methods are mostly oriented on theoretical knowledge which I believe is nearly useless when it comes to real-life work. Subsequent to earning master's degree in international business I would like to work for an international company as a manager and investigate and learn different aspects of global organizations as it will affect my long term career plans in this area. And, International...

Strengths and weaknesses of a situation are internal factors that can include the development of a company or program, pricing, distribution, brand awareness, promotion market sharing, and management experience. Opportunities and threats of a situation are external factors that can include market trends, competitive activity, regulatory issues, economic pressure, and social issues.
