The goal of this record of study is to examine the major facets involved in managing several petroleum service projects located in three different countries in the Gulf of Guinea simultaneously, while effectively engaging in business development activities for the Oil and Industrial Services Group (OIS). This work also furnishes adequate background on related subject matters to enable understanding of the projects presented. The petroleum services sector is the back bone of the oil and gas industry. Services companies are vital to the success of all petroleum and energy producers in the USA, the Gulf of Guinea and the world. There is a need and demand for these service companies because they play various roles such as logistics, drilling, construction, dredging, pipe laying, procurement, food supply, human resource supply, etc. The Gulf of Guinea comprises of countries from west and central Africa. This project was limited to Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. This area holds the largest petroleum reserves in Africa and plays a vital role in the global supply of petroleum. The Oil and Industrial Services Group (OIS), plans to establish herself as one of the leading petroleum service companies in this gulf. To manage this expansion, I have taken the role of Gulf of Guinea manager to apply my background as a petroleum engineer as well as my business skills to build a successful division of the company. This work provides a record of study of the management of services, projects and contracts carried out by the OIS group in the gulf of Guinea. The following are the specific projects in the Gulf of Guinea that I participated in: Managing delivering, maintenance and marketing of offshore vessels, Offshore pipe laying project, Integrated pipeline maintenance project, Development a petroleum technical training facilities, Agbami pipe insulation project, Engineering lift project and Capital budgeting analysis for potential investments. The details of the specific tasks of the job, including objectives, description, managerial role, nontechnical aspects, approaches, information sources, discussions and contributions are projected in the body of this literature.

Um estudo de casos múltiplos abrangendo oito indústrias de grande porte, nacionais e multinacionais, dos setores químico e automotivo foi realizado. Nessas organizações foram analisados os problemas internos que influenciam o desempenho da prestação de serviços associada a produtos. Para cada problema identificado foram analisadas as alternativas de solução implantadas, ou passíveis de serem adotadas. Os resultados apontam para um conjunto de processos internos, os quais focalizam apenas a atenção às demandas advindas dos produtos. A consideração desses resultados desvelou um conjunto de elementos que precisam ser considerados para o aprimoramento do sistema produto-serviço. / The present study investigates alternatives for the improvement of product-service system. A multiple case study involving eight national and multinational companies, from chemical and automotive industries, was conducted. In these organizations the internal problems that affect the performance of the provision of services associated with the product were analyzed. For each problem identified alternatives implemented, or likely to be adopted solution were analyzed. The results point to a set of internal processes, which focus attention only to the demands from products. Consideration of these results unveiled a set of elements that need to be considered for the improvement of product-service system.

Titel: Hållbarhetsrapportering inom två branscher - En jämförande studie på börsnoterade företag i Skandinavien   Nivå: C-uppsats inom ämnet företagsekonomi   Författare: Emma Basic & Albin Nordin   Handledare: Fredrik Hartwig   Datum: 2018 - januari   Syfte: Tidigare forskning har visat att bransch är en påverkande faktor till skillnader i hållbarhetsrapporter mellan företag. Forskning har gjorts på olika branscher från ett antal olika länder. Det finns ingen tidigare forskning på endast två branscher där en är förorenad och den andra icke förorenad och heller inte på Skandinavien. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka om bransch är en påverkande faktor till skillnader i mängd hållbarhetsinformation i hållbarhetsrapporter mellan branscherna sällanköpsvaror och industritjänster för företag i Skandinavien.   Metod: Denna studie utgår från den positivistiska forskningstraditionen och följer den deduktiva linjen inom forskning. Studien syftar till att vara objektiv och använder sig av den kvantitativa metoden där en databaserad innehållsanalys utförs för att kunna mäta hållbarhetsrapporteringen. Studien utgår även från en komparativ design där insamling av data sker utifrån en tvärsnittsdesign. Statistiska kontroller i form av en bivariat analys och en multipel regression utförs i studien med hjälp av det statistiska programmet SPSS.   Resultat & Slutsats: Studien visar att bransch är en påverkande faktor till skillnader i mängd hållbarhetsinformation i hållbarhetsrapporter för företag i Skandinavien. Studien visar att branschen sällanköpsvaror hållbarhetsrapporterar mer än branschen industritjänster. Denna bransch rapporterar mer både inom miljö- och social rapportering. Vi tror att detta främst beror på att branschen sällanköpsvaror påverkar miljön mer och därför också rapporterar mer inom miljö. Varför denna bransch även rapporterar mer inom det sociala kan bero på att orden i innehållsanalysen möjligtvis riktar sig mer mot produktionsföretag. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Något som skulle vara intressant för vidare forskning är att göra en liknande studie men rikta sig mot andra branscher och även ta med landet Finland som ligger i Norden och liknar de skandinaviska länderna. Det skulle också vara intressant att undersöka hållbarhetsrapporter från två andra år då denna studie undersöker år 2014 och 2016 och även att rikta sig mot enbart företag från Small, Mid eller Large cap då denna studie riktar sig mot alla dessa. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studien bidrar med att fastställa att bransch är en påverkande faktor till skillnader i hållbarhetsrapporter mellan branscherna sällanköpsvaror och industritjänster för företag i Skandinavien vilket inte forskats kring tidigare. Studien använder sig även av ett antal kontrollvariabler och fastställer om dessa har en påverkan på skillnaderna i hållbarhetsapporter. Studien kommer fram till att storlek påverkar skillnaderna medan tid inte gör det. För variabeln land visar studien att företag från Danmark hållbarhetsrapporterar mindre än företag från Sverige och Norge. / Title: Sustainability reporting in two industries - A comparative study of listed companies in Scandinavia.   Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration   Author: Emma Basic & Albin Nordin   Supervisor: Fredrik Hartwig   Date: 2018-January   Aim: Previous research has shown that industry is an influencing factor to differences in sustainability reports for companies. Research has been conducted on different industries from various countries. Research has not been done on only two industries where one is polluted and the other is not for companies in Scandinavia. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate whether industry is a influencing factor to differences in the amount of sustainability information in sustainability reports between the industries durable goods and industrial services for companies in Scandinavia.   Method: This study is based on the positivist research tradition and follows the deductive line of research. The study aims to be objective and uses the quantitative method in which a data-based content analysis is performed to measure sustainability reporting. The study is also based on a comparative design where the data collection is based from a cross sectional design. Statistical controls in form of a bivariate analysis and a multiple regression are made in the study using the statistical program SPSS.   Result & Conclusions: The study shows that industry is an influencing factor to differences in the amount of sustainability information in sustainability reports for companies in Scandinavia. The study shows that companies in the industry durable goods sustainability reports more than companies in industrial services. This industry reports more in both environmental and social reporting. We believe this may be because durable goods affects the environment more and therefore also report more environment information. Why the industry also reports more social information can according to us be because the words in the content analysis may possibly be more targeted to product companies.   Suggestions for future research: Something that would be interesting for further research is to do a similar study but focus on other industries. It would also be interesting to bring the country Finland in the study because the country is in the Nordic region and is similar to the Scandinavian countries. Further research could also investigate sustainability reports from two other years because this study examine 2014 and 2016 and also only target Small, Mid or Large cap since this study examines all of these.   Contribution of the thesis: The study helps to determine that industry is a contributing factor to differences in sustainability reports between the industries durable goods and industrial services for companies in Scandinavia which has not been researched earlier. The study also uses a number of control variables and determines whether these have an impact on differences in sustainability reports. The study finds that size affects the differences while time do not. For the variable country, the study shows that companies from Denmark sustainability reports less than companies from Sweden and Norway.
