ambiguous decolonisation a postcolonial reading of the ihrm strategy of the burmah Oil Company
Business History, 2021Co-Authors: Neveen Abdelrehim, Aparajith Ramnath, Andrew Smith, Andrew PoppAbstract:AbstractThis article uses the lens of postcolonial theory to determine the extent to which colonial features persisted in the organisational culture of the Burmah Oil Company (BOC) after decolonisation in South Asia. It does this through an examination of the evolving staffing strategies of the BOC and its South Asian (especially Indian) subsidiaries before and after 1947. Through an analysis of archival material and Company literature, we demonstrate that the BOC switched from an ethnocentric to a polycentric-staffing strategy very gradually, with senior managerial positions being occupied by British managers into the 1970s, well after other British MNEs operating in India had already made this transition. We suggest that this persistence of colonial modes of organisation contributed to the BOC’s tense relations with the Indian government, and the latter’s decision to nationalise the firm.

the obsolescing bargain model and Oil the anglo iranian Oil Company 1933 1951
Business History, 2017Co-Authors: Neveen Abdelrehim, Steven TomsAbstract:We employ archival evidence to investigate events culminating in the nationalisation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) in 1951, which followed disagreements over profit allocations arising from a previously negotiated concession. The case study expands the traditional obsolescing bargain model (OBM) by accommodating the use and impact of accounting information in negotiation contexts. The analysis reveals that managerial control and the deployment of accounting information by the AIOC temporarily strengthened its bargaining power vis-a-vis the Iranian government leading up to the nationalisation crisis, demonstrating the potential importance of these new dimensions in wider contexts.

Oil multinationals and governments in post colonial transitions burmah shell the burmah Oil Company and the indian state 1947 70
Business History, 2017Co-Authors: Shraddha Verma, Neveen AbdelrehimAbstract:Using the post-colonial perspective of hybridity, this article analyses how two British companies, the Burmah Oil Company (BOC) and Burmah Shell (BS) adapted to changes in the socio-economic environment from Indian independence in 1947 until 1970. Post-colonial theory is useful in exploring the continuing imperial influence, the changing relationship between BS, BOC and the Government of India (GOI) and the impact of this on the operations of BOC and BS post-independence. The approach recognises that the relationship between BOC, BS and the GOI was complex with differing levels of co-operation and tension existing between the three parties throughout the period.

understanding risk disclosures as a function of social organisation a neo durkheimian institutional theory based study of burmah Oil Company 1971 1976
British Accounting Review, 2017Co-Authors: Neveen Abdelrehim, Philip Linsley, Shraddha VermaAbstract:This paper draws on neo-Durkheimian institutional theory to identify patterns of social relations within the Burmah Oil Company Limited (BOC) in the period 1971–1976 and to assess whether the risk perceptions and the approaches to risk management discussed within the risk disclosures for the BOC annual reports are consistent with the patterns of social relations. Using archival sources the dominant pattern of social relations in the period 1971–1973 is identified as hierarchical and in the period 1974–1976 as isolate; the change in the pattern of social relations resulting from the BOC tanker fleet crisis in 1974. Significantly, the annual report risk disclosures are found to be consistent with the dominant patterns of social relations. Much prior risk disclosure research has focused on examining the principal characteristics of risk disclosures and testing for associations between volumes of risk disclosures and firm characteristics. This study suggests neo-Durkheimian institutional theory may offer a causally-based explanation for annual report risk disclosures.

volatility spillovers between crude Oil futures returns and Oil Company stock returns
Research Papers in Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Roengchai Tansuchat, Michael Mcaleer, Chialin ChangAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to investigate volatility spillovers between crude Oil futures returns and Oil Company stock returns by using the recent multivariate GARCH model, namely the CCC of Bollerslev (1990), VARMA-GARCH model of Ling and McAleer (2003) and VARMA-AGARCH model of McAleer, et al. (2008). This paper investigates the WTI crude Oil futures returns and stock returns of ten Oil companies; which are composed of the "supermajor" group of Oil companies, namely Exxon Mobil (XOM), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS), Chevron Corporation (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP), BP (BP) and Total S.A. (TOT), and other large Oil and gas companies in the world, namely Petrobras (PBRA), LukOil (LKOH), Surgutneftegas (SNGS), and Eni S.p.A. (ENI). The empirical results present conditional correlation between WTI crude Oil futures returns and very low returns in stock of the CCC model Oil Company. Surprisingly, for the VARMA-GARCH and VARMA-AGARCH models, no volatility spillover effects are observed in every pairs of return series. The paper also presents the evidence of asymmetric effect of negative and positive shock on conditional variance in every pairs of return series.

volatility spillovers between returns on crude Oil futures and Oil Company stocks
Social Science Research Network, 2009Co-Authors: Chialin Chang, Michael Mcaleer, Roengchai TansuchatAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to investigate the volatility spillovers between the returns on crude Oil futures and Oil Company stocks using alternative multivariate GARCH models, namely the CCC model of Bollerslev (1990), VARMA-GARCH model of Ling and McAleer (2003), and VARMA-AGARCH model of McAleer et al. (2008). The paper investigates WTI crude Oil futures returns and the stock returns of ten Oil companies, which comprise the "supermajor" group of Oil companies, namely Exxon Mobil (XOM), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS), Chevron Corporation (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP), BP (BP) and Total S.A. (TOT), and four other large Oil and gas companies, namely Petrobras (PBRA), LukOil (LKOH), Surgutneftegas (SNGS), and Eni S.p.A. (ENI). Estimates of the conditional correlations between the WTI crude Oil futures returns and Oil Company stock returns are found to be quite low using the CCC model, while the VARMA-GARCH and VARMA-AGARCH models suggest no significant volatility spillover effects in any pairs of returns. The paper also presents evidence of the asymmetric effects of negative and positive shocks of equal magnitude on the conditional variances in all pairs of returns.

Corporate Social Responsibilities Of Shell Petroleum Development Company (Spdc) And Nigeria Agip Oil Company (Noac) For Sustainable Community Development In Rivers State.
2010Co-Authors: Ifeoma Felicia UzoaguAbstract:Uzoagu Ifeoma Felicia (Mrs) MARCH, 2010. This study examined the Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSRs) of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC) for Sustainable Community Development in Rivers State. Five research questions and three null hypotheses were posed for the study. The research design adopted was the survey design. The population of the study comprised of the Community Development Committee (CDC), Shell and Agip Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) who were the indigenes of the Oil communities. The populationalso include staff of the Corporate Community Relation Department of SPDC and NAOC. The total sampled size was 731 respondents representing 35% of the targeted population. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire, focus group discussion and interview. The research questions were analyzed using percentages and mean statistic. T test was utilized in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study revealed that Shell CSR was not well known by the host communities, while Agip have CSR for sustainable development of their host communities. Shell and Agip through CSR contributed positively in resolving conflicts in their host communities. Shell through CSR could not contribute much to socioeconomic development of the host communities while Agip through CSR contributed to socio-economic development of their host communities. The companies (Shell and Agip) through CSR could not mitigate the environment of their host communities. Based on the findings the following recommendations were made: Oil companies should recognize their responsibilities, the host communities expectations and develop partnership as preferred model for their community development activities for peaceful co-existence. The Oil bearing communities should try as much as possible to be a good

Software quality modeling experiences at an Oil Company
Proceedings of the 2012 ACM-IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement, 2012Co-Authors: Constanza Lampasona, Jens Heidrich, Victor Basili, Alexis OcampoAbstract:The concept of “software quality” is often hard to capture for an organization. Quality models aim at making the concept more operational by refining the “quality” of software development products and processes into sub-concepts down to the level of concrete metrics and indicators. In practice, it is difficult for an organization to come up with a reliable quality model because quality depends on numerous organizational context factors, and the model as well as the metrics and indicators need to be tailored to the specifics of the organization. This paper presents experiences in developing customtailored quality models for an organization, exemplified by Ecopetrol, a Colombian Oil and gas Company. The general approach taken is illustrated and excerpts from the initial model are presented.
