The BP Pipeline case (Case 6.25 on pp. 411-422) is a complex
situational case about the actions of individuals and the
practices of a large corporation. Prepare a paper that addresses
the following:
Discuss in detail the ethical, negligence, and environmental
issues you see in this case.
BP had rented the rig from Transocean for $500,000 per day.
Transocean had been recognized by the U.S. government for its
safety record. Can companies distance themselves from liability
and responsibility through the use of contractors?
Discuss how BP got into the position in which it found itself in
late 2006 and what might have prevented the spill, the financial
fallout, and the loss of reputation. Be sure to factor in the
financial implications of any decision made during the period
from 2001 to 2006.
What was the impact of the emphasis in cost cutting on BP’s
culture? What was the influence on the company’s performance?
Evaluate the social responsibility positions of BP in light of the
refinery explosion and the pipeline issue. What can companies
learn from the BP experience?
Support your paper with a minimum of three (3) scholarly
resources in addition to your text. In addition to these specified
resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older
articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages
Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the
ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide
new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your
response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA
standards.
