Abstract
These transparencies are to accompany the case 'British Petroleum: Transformational Leadership in a Transnational Organisation' (497-013-1). The abstract of the case is as follows: The case looks at the difference in Robert Horton's and David Simon's leadership styles in the context of the upheaval of the oil industry in the past 25 years, and the roles the two leaders played in the transformation process at BP. It examines the reasons why, although the two men's goals were nearly identical, their individual style determined failure for one, and success for the other. The case addresses issues of transformation and national and corporate cultures in a transnational organisation.
