Royal Dutch Shell in Nigeria For Shell, there are a few key issues that must be addressed. Since the company is located in Nigeria, the company faces a certain animosity from the native Nigerians specifically the Ogonipeople. One of the main key issues in this case comes from Ken Saro-Wiwa who is an avid Ogoni protestor to foreign companies stealing resources and suggesting that the Nigerian government gives nothing in return to the Ogonipeople. Ken argued where the Nigerian Bill of Rights had been compromised by the multinational corporation. From this conflict, violence escalated and people have died in protests against the government and Shell. Another key issue is the fact that the environment of Niger Delta is affected by the process of natural gas flaring and oil spills. Though Shell claimed that the oil spills were from the effects of corruption, their operations have damaged the land with acid rain and water contamination. This case at the time is concerned with Shells pending decision to take action in politics and violate business ethics or to sit back and face contempt of court exposing the company to judicial sanctions. Some of the key stakeholders in this case involve the government, Shell employees, CMD managers, and Shell investors. The Nigerian government relies on Shell to be profitable. At a point in time, the Nigerian government had owned between 25% to 80% through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. The Nigerian government wantoil companies to utilize the resources and keep the fluctuating GDP healthy as a staple of revenue for the Nigerian economy. Another stakeholder in the case are the many employees that Shell hires, they need to maintain good business in Nigeria to keep their jobs. For them, they need the company to maintain proper decision making so that they do not jeopardize the company to other competitors. Shell as the market leader in oil production in Nigeria, getting involved with politics could endanger their operations. One of the more indirect stakeholders includethe actual shareholders and investors. For any publically traded company, the shareholders should be the most important as they are the backbone of the company. Shell should always make decisions in regard for their investors’ benefits. There is clearly evidence of corruption and difficulties for a multinational company like Shell to maintain good relations with Nigeria, especially the Ogoni people. Some recommendations include keeping the public and company safe, connecting with the Ogoni community, promoting better company practices, and keeping the Nigerian Bill of Rights in mind in future business. At the time of the case, Shell needs to make an impending decision to comment on the court ruling and possibly infringe on judicial sanctions. The scenario could go two ways, speak out to reduce the sentence on Ken and possibly sway the Ogoni public that their multinational company is not entirely evil, or maintain their business principles and subtly support Achaba’sdecisions to execute Ken. Keeping in mind that the first option will gain popularity with in South African president, media, Ogonisupporters, and human rights groups, I recommend that Shell should maintain silence in opinions. Abacha has little regard for the public and Ken did provoke many deaths of people, not to mention being a detriment to the company, but Shell could regain the trust and business of the Ogonipeople in other ways. Shell should in return construct plans to give back to the Ogonicommunity by slowly building trust around the Nigerian tribes. Shell needs to be the responsible company that gives back to the community by providing safe living conditions and water. Shell needs to take initiative to have communication with the community and have citizens express their concerns to develop brand loyalty. In turn, Nigeria may increase their consumption of gases and reduce the need for flaring. Shell needs to wait and see if the Ogoni people would be receptive to Shell’s commitment to their community and see if the violence subsides after Ken Saro-Wiwa’s trail is over.
