Full textThe retail and distribution industry in Botswana's deregulated economy is one of the largest and most difficult sectors in which to operate, mainly because of levels of competition amongst Botswana companies and the global competitive industry, in general. Hill (2000:539) postulates that competition in free market economies generally tends to be tense depending on differences between distribution systems such as retail concentration, channel length and channel exclusivity. At the same time the retail industry grapples with other complex social and structural problems as they face ever increasing marketing problems that relate to attracting and maintaining customers (Luh, 2006:1). In view of the intense competition, it is more expensive to obtain a new customer than to retain and maintain an existing customer. Consequently, retailers should develop competitive and sustainable ways to maintain the customers that they have and should develop strategies to retain any new customers that the business acquires (Naylor and Frank, 2000:37). Botswana practices a free market and a heavily deregulated economy, which causes an increase in competition (Luh, 2006:1) and creates greater expectations from customers in pursuit of satisfaction and value (Peter and Donnelly, 2007:179) for their money. In Botswana, petrol and diesel prices are regulated by government, there is therefore no competition between the rivals based on prices. The competition landscape therefore shifts to amongst others, namely; service provision, location of the petrol station, and fuel brand in general. Petrol and diesel retail outlets should focus on areas of operations that will give them a sustainable competitive advantage over their competitors without altering the price of products. Mehta, Lalwani and Li Han (2000:21) posit that increased competition between retail businesses forces rivals to focus on good customer service as the only critical factor in the operation of their business (Zairi, 2000: 332). Customer loyalty is therefore, the most effective way to keep customers and to maintain profitability through repeated purchases (Luh, 2006:2). Loyalty is used to describe the behaviour of repeat customers, their ratings of the business, positive testimonials, and business from existing customers, as well as overall perception, about the business from the existing customers. The study focuses on the petroleum industry in an environment where there are several competitors, relative .to the size of the country, offering goods and services that are close substitutes. The industry in Botswana is characterised by five competitors that offer heavily substitutable products (BP Report, 2006:1-4). These rivals are BP, Shell, Caltex, Engen and Total.

Resumo: No presente estudo, 745 casos de acidentes operacionais foram coletados a partir do Mineral Management Service envolvendo operações marítimas de exploração e produção de petróleo na região do Golfo do México no período de 1995 a 2000. Inicialmente, os dados dos acidentes operacionais foram cuidadosamente analisados, sendo divididos de acordo com as operações no instante do acidente (perfuração, completação, produção e intervenção em poços). O resultado desta análise mostrou que 68,99% dos acidentes operacionais ocorrem em operações marítimas de produção de petróleo, 24,56% em operações de perfuração, 3,89% em operações de intervenção em poços e finalizando 2,55% em operações de completação de poços. A avaliação dos dados dos acidentes operacionais revelou o comportamento destes para cada operação ao longo dos anos. Nesta análise foi possível identificar os maiores agentes que colaboraram para o aumento do número de acidentes em operações marítimas de exploração e produção de petróleo no Golfo do México, bem como as respectivas conseqüências de cada acidente. Tal procedimento proporciona informações que podem auxiliar engenheiros no aprimoramento e eficácia de novos programas de segurança operacional
Abstract: In the present study, 745 operational accidents cases were collected from the Mineral Management Service and involved offshore operation of oil and gas exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico region between 1995 and 2000. Initially, operational accident¿s data were carefully analyses and divided in according to the operations soon after their occurence (drilling, completion, production and workover). This result has shown that 68.99% of the operational accidents occurred in offshore oil production operations, 24.56% in offshore drilling operations, 3.89% in offshore workover operations, and, finally, 2.55% in offshore completion operations. The evaluation of the operational accidents revealed the behavior of each operation along of those years. In this analyses, it was possible to identify the main agents that collaborate to increase the number of accidents in offshore operations of oil exploration and production, as well as, the respective consequence for each accident. Such procedure may provided information that can assist engineers to improve the efficacy for new operational safety program

Full textThe energy sector is fast nearing a tipping point of no turning back. Transitioning from fossil fuel to renewable energy holds both threats and opportunities for businesses across the world. Africa is a continent rich in natural resources. The World Bank predicts that by 2020 only four or five African countries will not be involved in mineral exploitation. However, the continent is in economic, political and social crises with the majority of Africans living in poverty. As an enabler of business, business expects information technology (IT) to support, grow and maintain their existing portfolio of IT products and services while at the same time innovate and build new IT competencies to respond rapidly to the transition towards renewable energy. But, IT leadership is blamed for being rigid and unable to service the evolving needs of their organisations. As a result, traditional management theory is failing IT leadership in responding to the rapid rate of change required for serving as an enabler and transformational agent for business in leveraging technology to create a competitive advantage. As an enabler of business, the rate of implementing new products and services has a direct impact on organisational competitiveness, something that traditional management theory does not provide for. Theory tells us what technical skills the IT department requires; it does not tell us what people skills are required. In addition, business managers in Africa need to develop the ability to integrate traditional and conventional management styles to resolve the unique challenges they face. The implementation of an effective and efficient IT department remains problematic for business and IT management as traditional management theory does not necessarily support the implementation of IT within organisations in the African Oil and Gas industry. This research explores the disconnect between traditional management theory and the way that IT implementation works within the African Oil and Gas industry. The study followed an inductive research approach. The research paradigm fluctuated between exploratory humanism and interpretivism. The African Oil and Gas industry presents the case study. A multistage mixed-model research design (a subset of mixed method research) was followed, combining quantitative data with qualitative data in order to add depth to the findings. The multistage mixed-model research design allowed for the collection and corroboration of data and enhanced the credibility of the study. This design was used to expand the qualitative and quantitative data collected by challenging the results from both methods.
