BP company has had some difficult times in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s
Some of the obstacles the company had to deal with were due to bad management decisions,
Poor economic planning, and poor human resource planning, and bad leadership decisions
• Declining profits due to declining oil prices- Economic issue
• Decline in profits due to merging of various diversified businesses- Planning and Economic issue
• Management succession resulting from the company’s poor performance –Leadership issue
• Low company morale due to job cuts and poor leadership. CEO Robert Horton earned the nickname “The Hatchet”
for his personal abrasiveness and tendency to dictate rather than cultivate- Management and Human resource issue
• Over 19,000 job positions which is about 16% of the entire workforce were removed in the period
between 1990-1992.- Human resources and planning issues
• In 1990, revenue had dropped from $66.4 billion to $51.9 billion in 1992 and the annual profits dropped from
$3.2 billion resulting in a yearly loss of $811 million.- Economic issue
Steps BP took to bounce back from crisis
Focus on traditional area of strength in “upstream” areas– oil and gas exploration, field development, production, pipeline
Transportation, and gas marketing- and “downstream” areas- oil supply trading, refining, and marketing- as well as in chemical
Manufacturing. As a result of its corporate shuffling, BP now focused on its three core businesses: oil exploration and production,
oil exploration and production, oil refining and marketing, and chemicals
Restructuring the company under new management team.
They organized the company’s interests into three primary divisions: BP Exploration, BP Oil, and BP Chemicals
Cut debts by $1 billion Dollars
Accelerated use of strategic business partnerships to cut the cost of doing business
My opinion and recommendations
BP faced many crisis during this time. There was little that the company could have done to predict
the falling oil prices as this is dependent on the amount of oil obtained by the oil mining companies.
On the other hand BP could have been more aware of the external threat of other companies plans to
merge. BP leadership, and management could have also been more active in communicating with employees to
Help the employees accept the layoffs and changes more openly.
Under the leadership of Horton the company the company failed to communicate. BP could have taken
A different approach to keeping employees informed of any changes rather the changes were good or
bad for the company. BP also could have reviewed its corporate structure to make sure that the goals were
Achievable. Under Horton’s leadership the company primary focus was to reduce its cost, reduce
organizational complexity, and reshape the central Organization. While cutting cost may sound as if it’s
the perfect objective sometimes a company may have to spend money to reach a certain financial position.

Case
Analysis:
Each
student
will submit a Major
Case
Study
Analysis. The analysis will be broken
down into
3 parts
to ensure students are working on the case throughout the term
(don’t wait until week 7)! The final and complete Case Analysis paper
is due to
Chalk & Wire at the end of Module 7.
The
overall theme of the project is an analysis of an issue or problem
faced by an
organization of your choice. Your analysis should include several of
the business
disciplines reviewed in this course.
Part I Outline (6% of overall course grade)
must include:
•
A title for the case study
•
A brief executive summary of the issue or problem in the organization,
including the name of the organization (or a pseudonym) and a brief
synopsis of the business and/or industry in which it operates.
•
Bulleted statements about which business disciplines will be used to
understand, address, and improve the problem (expect to use 6 or
more).
These should include information, research and factual evidence
about the
nature of the issue or problem, for example:
o
Sales were down 40% in FY 2019 compared to previous years due to the opening
of a competing business nearby in January 2019 (Jones, 2019). The company
could have anticipated this economic issue through better environmental scanning
or SWOT analysis.
o
Significant employee turnover and changes in leadership resulted in damage to
organizational culture (Shoemaker, 2020). This is a
leadership
and
strategic
management
issue that occurred because of a recent merger and poor workforce
planning. This could have been addressed through more thoughtful talent
forecasting before the merger took place.
•
A brief concluding paragraph with the student’s recommendations on
how
to solve the issue or problem through the use of business strategies
and
techniques across these disciplines
•
All sources should be cited in the outline and on a separate
