Royal Dutch Shell have been utilized ‘contingency planning’, as a tools and techniques for their planning. Contingencies planning is identifying alternatives course of action to take when things going wrong. The planning process and managing is uneasy work. There are always an uncertain environment to faced with. This is obvious when the first and second world war erupted. During the first world war, Royal Dutch Shell has realize the important of growth and expansion over global markets. By that consciousness, Royal Dutch Shell has applied the planning tools, contingency planning on company operation. The company then realize at time of war, it was quiet difficult to run business operation. It is not in term of the demand on fuel is down, it is even become more important because oil is needed to run machine and other war vehicle.
But the difficulties is about to whose the oil is about to sell? Royal Dutch Shell second plan is making contract with one of the force that participated on that war. Royal Dutch Shell has became the main supplier for fuel to British Expeditionary Force during World War 1. This has give the company good state in running the business.
But the situation is reverse and differ in second world war. During the 1930s the pressure give depression force to Royal Dutch Shell to reduce its workforce entirely. The world war two has forced the demolition of many of its business and project location. This is really bad for royal dutch shell to faced with. Their operation is disturbed and they are facing short pace of shrinking of their company. As to face and deal with this situation, royal dutch shell is once again have a second plan to overcome this situation.
DISCUSSION 3- Do you feel that Royal Dutch Shell uses any participation and involvement strategies to implement its plan? Why would participation and involvement be so crucial for such a firm?
Indeed, Royal Dutch Shell have used participation and involvement strategies in their business. In today’s current economic climate. This company has made some changes to its existing business model in adapt all the demand and to make adjustment to what their client needs on their oil concerning business. In order to survive in global volatile markets, at one point this company has involve in joint ventures with rival Exxon to form a partnership for the development of worldwide fuel additives.
Partnership is formed of two or more people or organization agree to contribute resource to start and operate a business together. It is backed by a legal and written partnership agreement. Good part of partnership is all member of it is agree to contribute their skils, expertise and ability to their new venture to reach goals and share the benefits together.
It is important for royal Dutch Shell to used this strategies to implement to their plan because for certain time we they always need some improvement and enhancement to certain part. When this company joint their project with Exxon on developing worldwide fuel addictives they got some good profit, first they got new knowledge, expertise, and skils from their partner. They will learn new knowledge that can be used to their future.

FURTHER RESEARCH- Investigate the types of alternative fuel sources that are currently being used or research. How might these alternative fuel sources impact the oil industry? How might these alternatives fuel sources impact the oil industry? How might they impact Royal Dutch Shell specifically?
There are a lot of alternative fuel sources currently used and research by the world today. These alternatif fuel is developed because they want to find or overcome the issues of depleting sources, many corporate sector invest in their money to research and develop this alternative sources of energy. They know if they mastered and conquer this field it may come in much profit. There were many types of this alternative sources like Biomass, Biofuel, Solar power, Liquid nitrogen and Nuclear power. But one of the most popular alternatives fuel today is hybrid technology.
Hybrid technology is the technology that implied on machine to generate electrical energy. Almost all the developer put in this technology to main vehicle, car. Car is one of the most consuming petrol on road. And it is always become a problem to human when the price of petrol is increase year by year. This problem seems cannot be put aside as the sources of petroleum is depleting years by years.
The invention of hybrid technology has become a good answer to overcome the problem of depleting resources of petroleum. This is why some giant of automotive company like Toyota and Honda is compete in developing and producing the hybrid car. World citizen is quiet happy to hear this things and those hybrid has become more and more popular and widely being used in few country. Those car like Toyota prius have been used by United State as their patrol car.
The invention of hybrid technology is obviously known that it is were developed in order to respond to the problem of depleting sources of petroleum. But as the technology is developed a bit early, it is at the other side have turn to become a threat to the oil industry. At today current situation, it may still look like just a normal thing. But if we look up to just little five year forward. The oil industry may feel the impact of lowering number of petrol consumer. The reducing number of petrol consumer is occur when the hybrid technologies become cheaper when expert become more advance in mastering this technologies.
This is a normal things that, when any technologies is become more mastered by human it will become cheaper and more affordable by human. So the same thing goes to Hybrid and this is absolutely will give impact to oil industry. And royal dutch shell itself as the big company in oil industry will affected. The demand of their petrol fuel will decrease periodically as the hybrid technologies is become more familiar time by time.
