Conclusion
From the Paper
"Strategic planning, like any type of planning, involves establishes goals and identifying quantifiable objectives that can help an organization reach them. What perhaps best differentiates strategic planning from "seat-of-the-pants" or intuitive planning initiatives concerns how informed the decision-makers are concerning the environment in which the company competes. In some cases, strategic alliances with others may represent the best course of action for various reasons, while acquiring competitors also represents a viable alternative in many cases. Because every organization is unique, there cannot of course be a one-size-fits-all strategic approach that can be applied across the board to achieve successful outcomes to such planning processes, but there are some general guidelines that can be used to help companies recognize when one alternative is superior to another."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Exxon-Mobil Corporation, a mature corporation with various divisions and hundreds of affiliates, with brands such as Exxon Mobil, Exxon, Esso or Mobil, is in the business of energy, including the exploration, manufacture, transportation and sale of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products and power, and is an important manufacturer and marketer of petrochemicals. The paper stresses that this industry is faced with rapid fluctuation in crude oil prices; therefore, derivatives have become an important tool in order to help the oil firms manage this risk. The paper relates that the company also faces risk regarding the transportation of natural gas because the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations to enhance the level of competition within the segment.

Introduction
Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The company faces high potential risks related with workplace human rights violations as it operates in nations where, according to the U.S. Department of State's 2003 Human Rights Reports, workplace human rights are not sufficiently protected in law and practice. These are countries like China, Indonesia, Chad, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Angola and Nigeria. Exxon Mobil took the first step by mentioning that its standards of business conduct, its global framework for responsible functions, match up to the spirit and intent of the principles of the ILO Declaration. On the other hand, the shareholders believe that the company's true adoption and implementing of a workplace human rights policy are still missing. Even today, the policies set forth by the company do not incorporate the principles of the ILO Declaration."

From the Paper
"Inventory Turnover is an important ratio that reveals the number of times the average inventory is completely swapped-out, with a higher number indicating better efficiency at moving product. It is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by average inventory (beginning + ending inventory divided by 2). Exxon Mobil reported, in millions, $284,334 and $281,658 for cost of goods sold; as well as 9404 and 10018 in average inventory, respectively, for the years 2005 and 2006.
"The resulting ratios are 30.24 for 2005 and 28.12 for 2006. This indicates a decrease in the rate of inventory turnover, but may not by itself indicate any particular problems; since many external factors may influence this ratio."

"The forecasts predict an increase both in the demand and in the efficiency of energy use. But the growth isn't uniform throughout the globe, as developed and developing economies account for the major part of the use. Progress is dependent on energy, hence emerging economies, such as China and India, to cite only the largest examples, are likely to become heavy users influencing the equilibrium on the market."

Abstract
The paper examines Exxon's yearly revenues and growth. The paper explains that the 2005 revenue figures have shown an increase since the last year's results during the same period, due to an increase in the price of a crude oil barrel and the repositioning of the company. The paper evaluates the 2006 budget as one that will profit from the operational areas where the company is already relying on a huge success (crude oil, recognized brands), while planning to develop and sustain secondary areas of activity where it can become highly successful in time (smaller brands, the chemical industry, gasoline refining). The writer concludes that in his/her opinion, this kind of strategy will provide a balanced approach to long-term development.
From the Paper
"The 2005 revenue figures have shown a remarkable increase since last year results during the same period. On one hand, these were generated by an increase in the price of crude oil barrel, which has attained levels of over $60 in the last couple of months. On the other hand, the management team has thought out a certain repositioning of the company, which meant that some of the other sectors where the company is operating, such as the chemical industry or the gasoline refining market, although less profitable than the crude oil extracting operations, have begun to show small financial profits."

Discussion
From the Paper
"And lastly, the effects of businesses in general seem to be mostly in agreement by the authors. An increased need for social responsibility has been inflicted on businesses, due to the Exxon incidents. Situational ethics is no longer acceptable to society, and instead, a common morality is mandated. And, although Bowen and Power (1993) did not name the decision to reduce personnel onboard the Valdez as ethically critical decision, they do agree with the other researchers in the need for Exxon, and businesses in general, to consider the ethical implications of their proposed actions prior to thinking profit, and that by focusing on doing 'right' the financial rewards will then follow."
