...Business Model and Strategic Plan Part I: Conceptualizing a New Product or Service Division of an Existing Business Mission Statement Plains Exploration & Production Company (PXP) is building a way to the future with innovation that sets new standards for the Oil Drilling and Gas Extraction Industry. Business Proposal “The world isn’t running out of oil and natural gas. It is running out of easy oil and gas,” Leber, (2012). The technology used to recover oil and natural gas from wells has not changed in the past decade. Our business model for this new division will guide PXP into the future by incorporating digital oil field technology to our existing sites both on land and water. Consumers will benefit by lower prices at the pumps, lower airfare for travel and the transportation costs for products will be reduced, making product prices lower. Offshore oil is much more expensive to extract than onshore oil. “Using traditional techniques, onshore wells can be drilled to 8000 meters compared to 5000 meters, 50 years ago. Offshore wells can be drilled in water to only 1000 meters,” (IBIS World Industry Report, 2014, p. 30). Lately, economical advantages mean the use of fracking has been reemployed over the last five years, even though it has been selectively used since the 1940’s. Using the digital oil fields will streamline production for maximum efficiency. The technological advances will cut costs as PXP maximizes response time at the mining sites. PXP could, according...

...reflected some kind of a visual change apart from changes in any other element. We have analyzed ten inflexion points ranging from mergers and acquisitions to business re-orientation to changes in organizational culture and how these factors necessitate changes in corporate identity. Based on this we have proposed a model which showcases the growing impact of these factors over time and how the occurrence of World events has intensified the ‘change factors’ which in turn are putting all the more pressure on corporations globally to reconsider their identity. The intensity of these factors would vary from industry to industry, with each industry having a different lifecycle. The model brings out the paradox of shortened lifecycle of corporate identities which itself poses an extraordinary challenge to companies for effectively elongating and managing their identities. Changing ones corporate identity is not only an expensive affair but can also create dissonance in the minds of the stakeholders, if not managed and communicated properly. In order to succeed companies will have to exercise tremendous clarity of thought and understand their purpose of existence. Table of Contents 1. Corporate Identity : Concept and Purpose 2.
