...ExxonMobil and the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline A CEO of any multi-million dollar company is always left with ethical dilemmas that affect their profession. Most of these ethical dilemmas always center on employees, personal beliefs and environmental issues. In this case CEO Lee Raymond of ExxonMobil, was faced with the decision of building a pipeline in Chad and Cameroon. Until a Certain point in time, the pipeline was a shared interest among Shell and TotalFinaElf. However both the companies have backed from the project, due to future economical issues. Although on paper it seems that both companies were doing the best for the environment, but it was an environmental risk that these companies were facing. If such environmental risk was to take place the company could face up to billions in lawsuits. The CEO Lee Raymond was faced with the decision of whether building the pipeline would be ethical or not. Other than environmental factors, there were many other issues standing in his way. For example the lively hood of the people in Chad and Cameroon will be affected, as well as the indigenous people of Cameroon. Nearly 64 villages and their citizens will be affected by the construction of the pipeline. However the biggest dilemma that Lee Raymond faces is that if not ExxonMobil, than another company will continue with the project. There are many ethical issues surrounding the construction of the pipeline, such as corrupt politicians, the environment and the people. Developing...

...irreversible catastrophic impact will happen. By leaving out the risks and potential environmental damages involved in their carbon asset risk reports to the public and shareholders, ExxonMobil has made it much more difficult for us to estimate how far ahead of us is "the cliff", so one would slowly hit the brake. Corporations and their marketing departments are very experienced at getting inside the minds of consumers and use that as an advantage to increase profits. Imagine the world's biggest and most powerful oil company launching its new TV ad promoting natural gas development and its name brand by claiming "natural gas is one of the world's cleanest fuels"(Brand Republic). The ad definitely seems to be convincing and valid, thus, luring consumers into choosing natural gas instead of other energy alternatives. Many adults are more inclined to buy eco-friendly product even if they would pay more for them .That’s the reaction ExxonMobil seeks: the thoughts of doing something good in connection with environment, and human rights, etc. However, is this really is the whole truth? There are raised questions whether or not the ad's claim is just an overstatement or possibly straight wrong and misleading. The ASA agreed and decided to ban ExxonMobil's ad for such reason. However, the damages are done: ExxonMobil had put the idea of natural gas being a “clean”...

...Mergers and Acquisition: Exxon Mobil Merger Introduction Industry mergers or business combinations are a phenomenon that has been commonplace for quite some time now. They basically involve two or more organizations coming together to form a large corporate under which they operate. The new organization which may have a combination of the names of the merging components or a totally new name operates as a new entity. The new rule under which the new entity operates depends in the agreement on the terms of the merger. As stated in our advanced accounting text, the history of mergers can be traced back to the 1895 to 1905 period in the US when the small companies with small market shares combined forces to form larger entities that dominated the target markets. In this way their collective value accounted for 20% of the total GDP (Cartwright & Schoenberg, 2006, p 3). Since then mergers have remained a popular way of market consolidation and strengthening of the capital base of the various firms involved. The rise of globalization in the 1990s further increased the market for international mergers with firms located in different countries and continents coming together. These mergers have resulted in huge conglomerates across borders with multibillion dollar financial bases and thousands of international shareholders. This paper sets to discuss Exxon Mobil merger with special emphasis on...

The corporation provides a full product cycle, starting with geological exploration of John D. Rockefeller and ending with delivering oil-related products to corporate and individual consumers. The three principal markets Exxon Mobil Corporation serves are fuels, lubricants and specialties, and petrochemicals.

Exxon’s main business is discovering, producing, and selling oil and natural gas all over the world.

Exxon Mobil as a current cooperation has transcended from a miniature pawn in Rockefeller’s industry into one of the top suppliers in the worlds industry of oil. Although Rockefeller’s influence is buried in the passage of time, ExxonMobil’s actions remain consistent with his nature except for his philanthropy.
