Oil and gas sector
Trends of the industry
In recent years, the key trends in the oil and gas sector have been the increased role of the state and the consolidation of the oil companies. The main players are state-owned companies that control over 50% of the market. Under the pressure of sanctions, industry players are seeking to develop their own technologies or attract those available externally.
Business challenges
Such conditions call for unconventional management strategies. The focus shifts to the vital issues of executive recruitment and the development of top managers with outstanding technical competencies and leadership qualities. There are few such leaders within the industry and competition is fierce among employers. One possible way of filling this gap is to attract managers from other, more dynamic industries, or from abroad.
