    CASE DESCRIPTION The primary subject matter of this case concerns the management of international joint ventures. Secondary issues examined include: business in Russia; government’s intervention in business and how it affects multinational companies; market entry and modes of market entry decisions;; and dimensions and elements of culture (Fang 2003). The case has a difficulty level appropriate for first or second year graduate level. The case is designed to be taught in one class hour and is expected to require one hour of outside preparation by students. CASE SYNOPSIS BP, one of the largest publicly listed oil companies in the world, had been operating in Russia since 1997, initially through minority stakes in Russian oil companies and, since 2003, through TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture with AAR, a consortium of Russian investors. This joint venture allowed BP access to extensive oil reserves in Russia and was one of BP’s most valuable assets, accounting for 25% of BP’s production in 2007. In 2008, BP and its partners in TNK-BP encountered serious disagreements about how to run the company. A string of government actions including raids by the Russian tax police on both BP and TNK-BP’s offices in Russia concluded with the cancelation of TNK-BP’s British CEO’s work visa by Russian immigration authorities. Although BP and its partners reached an agreement in principle to renew the board of TNK-BP and appoint a new CEO in December 2008, by February 2009 they had not been able to appoint a Chief Executive acceptable to both parties. INTRODUCTION In May 2009 TNK-BP, a 50-50 joint venture between BP, one of the major western oil companies, and Alfa Access/Renova, a…

    At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States used coal, oil, and wood as a natural resource to produce energy. Around the beginning of the twenty-first century, those same energy resources are routine today as they were a hundred years ago. The U.S. has refined our ability to use new sources of energy that we have discovered over the last hundred years. However, “Annual consumption of petroleum and natural gas exceeded that of coal in 1947 and then quadrupled in a single generation. Neither before nor since has any source of energy become so dominant so quickly” (“Peacock”). With time the population’s need for more energy was in high demand.…

    Although China and the Gulf region's growth is stimulated by non-renewable resources, and despite natural disasters such as the BP spill, Piper Alpha and Exxon Valdes, which are damaging financially, environmentally and in terms of human life, every little helps in making the planet more sustainable for human life. Solar panels can produce electricity when installed on roofs. Recycling, reduction and reuse of waste products (some of which contain oil) keeps the products away from landfills which may be destroyed by burning. Less fuel consumption can be secured by carpooling and only using a car on long journeys - and hybrid cars run on electricity, not petroleum - and even when shopping, you can use fewer plastic bags, made with…

    On October 25, 2003, heavily armed police surrounded the private jet of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the billionaire head of Russia's then leading oil producer Yukos, and arrested him.' The following months witnessed the government-orchestrated destruction of Yukos through sweeping arrests of the oil giant's top managers and a barrage of massive tax assessments and penalties.2 The final blow came in December 2004 with the auction of Yuganskneftegaz, 3 Yukos' most prized production entity, which alone accounted for 60 percent of the oil company's output. 4 The $9.3 billion winning bid was submitted by a previously unknown entity named…
