Case 4: Sustainability Challenges in the Gas and Oil Industry

1. The case analysis must be typed, double spaced, and approximately 3-5 pages in length.
2. Format should include:

A. A brief summary of the case (Tell me what it was about.) This should be no more than one (1) page.
B. Answers to the first 3 questions at end of case; incorporating theories that you have learned thus far which relate to the case. (Include the question number, the questions, and follow it by your response.)
C. Your opinion and the logic behind it incorporating at least one outside resource in your response. (This is the most important section of the paper. Make sure it is adequately developed. Make sure your outside resource is current and documented with appropriate referencing. This could include a current article or news report on the issue or the company of focus.)
3. Evaluation will be made on your ability to write a clear, concise analysis that shows your current knowledge obtained from readings. Points will be deducted for errors in grammar, spelling,
punctuation and required format as stipulated in this document.

These are the questions for my case study:

 

  1. How does managing ethical risk in the oil and gas industry relate to reducing accidents?
  2. Compare the risks that BP, Exxon, and the fracking industry continue to face in providing an adequate supply of energy?
  3. How can ethical leadership help the oil and gas industry to manage risk?
