Not only does this create many opportunities for the company, it allows investors a chance to diversify their portfolios and enter the world of international investing.

...How Exxon Mobil would manage its FDI in an emerging market Investment decisions by firms are subject to rigorous planning and coordination and when they cater to the firms’ interests in expanding its business beyond the borders of its home country, the parameters for analysis change. The company has to think beyond its own domestic construct and towards a more broad-based approach. Multinationals have to consider a completely new array of factors which range across the home country, the foreign country and even the distance in between. In today’s world of interconnectedness, FDI has been facilitated through the use of modern technology and the transferability of technology across boundaries. The global trading environment allows for investment flows across countries. While countries may be wary of imports, FDI is always welcomed as it leads to job creation within an economy and a boost to GDP. The FDI decision would itself be one needing intense planning, strategizing and thorough analysis. The factors which determine investment decisions by large firms vary across countries and it is up to the firms to determine whether the costs incurred by the variances among these parameters would be worth the price of admission. The cost benefit analysis has to be thorough given that the company is exploring new markets which could be considered a whole new world within the context of the company. Stepping out of the bounds of its own industrial and economical context and towards a global...

...| | 10 | References | | 11 | Appendix | | Executive Summary The Exxon-Mobil merger of 1998 makes for an interesting Mergers & acquisitions discussion as one of the largest mergers in the history of Oil and Gas industry. The merger took place as the industry was undergoing a phase of rapid consolidation. Operational efficiency, oil reserves in emerging economies, constantly dipping oil prices and challenges in downstream operations were the defining factors of the landscape and drivers behind the merger. The success of the merger lies in the significant synergies derived , whether it be complementary asset locations, different competencies and stronghold over different geographical locations. The near term operating synergy was a whopping $2.8 billion. Risks however existed in terms of meeting anti-trust and regulatory concerns, retention of personnel and cultural differences. Exxon-Mobil post the merger would gain an exorbitant market share in key locations which would have a bearing on fair competition. This led to FTC handing out strict compliance requirements. However, with intense efforts by the leadership at these two companies, the merger has gone down in history as one of the very successful ones. Exxon capitalized on the marketing expertise of Mobil while continuing its core competency in exploration. The valuation multiples indicated that the price paid for Mobil was much below its intrinsic valuation, though it had been acquired at a premium. The...

...Our company and stock of choice is Exxon Mobil Corporation (ticker: XOM, NYSE). Exxon Mobil is a U.S. based publically traded oil and gas distributor that operates domestically as well as globally, and is one of the most well known companies within the industry. Currently, Exxon Mobil is the world’s largest publicly held oil and gas corporation, and also ranks as the second largest publicly held company across the globe, as classified by market capitalization, just behind Apple Inc. In addition to its high market capitalization, the corporation also falls within the top ten revenue-generating companies across the globe. We have chosen to scrutinize this particular industry and stock due to shared interests in the technological advancements of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, and how this technology affects Exxon’s current market price and overall company growth. Given these new technologies within the industry, we will utilize various valuation models to assess Exxon Mobil’s financial records and share data in order to determine whether their current market price is an accurate representation of intrinsic value, and also to assess company outlook. We will use XOM as a potential investment vehicle, in hopes to ascertain a better understanding of the company and to best predict what’s in store for Exxon Mobil as well as the oil and gas industry. As mentioned before, “fracking” has been prominent. Hydraulic fracturing, which emerged around 2005, has given the United...

...Intro Exxon Mobil is one of the most successful businesses in the history of the United States. Though it did not start as Exxon, but evolved through splitting and joining of oil companies, it has always been a strong competitor in the field of oil sales. Exxon is now one of the top companies in the world, and has its eye on growth. According to Fortune 500 Exxon is the second largest company in the world, and though it is not the number one largest, it is the most profitable. In 2011 Exxon’s profits topped $30 billion, a whopping 58% jump. Background In 1870 a man named John D. Rockefeller founded a company called Standard Oil Company and by 1878 it controlled 95% of the US refining capacity. By 1911 the Supreme Court of the United States[->0] ruled that Standard Oil must be dissolved and split into 34 different companies. Two of these companies were Jersey Standard[->1], which eventually became Exxon, and Socony[->2] which eventually became Mobil. [5] Both companies grew significantly over the next few decades. In 1931, Socony merged with Vacuum Oil Co.[->3], an industry pioneer dating back to 1866. In 1966, Socony-Vacuum changed its name to ‘Mobil Oil Corporation’. A decade later, the newly incorporated Mobil Corporation absorbed Mobil Oil as a wholly owned subsidiary[->4]. Jersey Standard, led by Walter C. Teagle[->5], became the largest oil producer in the world. Jersey Standard changed its name to Exxon Corporation in 1972 and established Exxon as a trademark throughout...

...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...
