Introduction

This paper evaluates the likely impact on the competitive position of PETRONAS if it were to strengthen its business strategy based on Sustainable Development.

PETRONAS, acronym for Petroliam Nasional Berhad, is a Malaysian owned oil and gas company that was founded on 17 August 1974. Wholly owned by the Government, the corporation is vested with the entire oil and gas resources in Malaysia and is entrusted with the responsibility of developing and adding value to these resources. PETRONAS is ranked among Fortune Global 500’s largest corporations in the world. In 2007, its revenue was in excess of US$51 billion.

Since its incorporation it has grown to be an integrated international oil and gas company with business interests in 31 countries. As of the end of March 2005, the Petronas Group comprised 103 wholly owned subsidiaries, 19 partly-owned outfits and 57 associated companies. Together, these companies make the Petronas Group, which is involved in various oil and gas based activities. The Financial Times has identified PETRONAS as one of the
“new seven sisters”: the most influential and mainly state-owned national oil and gas companies from countries outside the OECD.

    Union Oil Company of California, Unocal, progressed into a full-service oil business after being founded more than 100 years ago to develop oil fields in California.

Burma's government created the company Mynamar Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE) to find private companies to help develop their oil.…
