Ronald Kermani, a former journalist of The Times Union of Albany made a guest appearance in class on April the fourth.

    Factors in the political and legal environments appear to represent an important influence on decisions made within companies. It seems as though changes in this environment can directly affect company performance. With ExxonMobil operating in nearly 200 countries worldwide (ExxonMobil, 2001) the list of possible political and legal aspects appears to be endless. Importance should be given only to implications that can gravely affect operations. Making this choice of differentiation between significant and insignificant influencing factors may well be the most important decision to be made by ExxonMobil. Therefore the main question that arises is: What political and legal factors from the external environment affect decision making within ExxonMobil.…

In recent years, oil companies attach greater importance to their social and environmental impact than they used to (Frynas, 2005). This research is meant to describe and analyze the level of commitment and effectiveness of corporate social responsibility by Statoil and shell in Nigeria, as many findings have proven that there is mounting evidence of a gap between the stated intentions of these companies and their actual practices, and impact on the local population.…
