Task/Assignment
You are to assume you are the Chief Operating Officer of Big Oil Corporation, a major oil and gas exploration company, with its headquarters in Houston Texas. You have obtained a licence from the New Zealand government to conduct some exploratory testing for potential oil and gas reserves in a remote area of the South Island of New Zealand, in order to evaluate whether oil reserves may exist in quantities that would justify the cost of exploration and extraction. You are initially aware of two significant challenges that need to be overcome if you are to be able to successfully carry out your exploration:
The majority of land in the area under investigation is owned by local iwi, whose co-operationwill be required if further exploration is to take place.
One relatively small part of the relevant land area is designated as a National Park, under themanagement of the New Zealand governments Department of Conservation.
You are to first read through the attached case studies on stakeholder relationship management (Loi, 2016) and use that material to help you prepare a report to the board of directors of Big Oil, assessing the character of the exploration opportunity that exists in New Zealand, discussing a range of strategies by which you might take advantage of that opportunity, and recommending a preferred course of action that will result in maximum levels of satisfaction for all relevant stakeholders.
