Different Challenges of Shell Oman Oil Company

Like every company, same is the case here with Shell Oman Oil Company. They also have number of different challenges which causes an impact on the organization along with the employees working in the organization as well.

1. Resource challenge of Shell Oman Oil Company:

When it comes towards the energy along with the other vital services as well there are number of different forces that are shaping the future of this Shell oil company. There are number of different people who are successfully climbing out of the poverty for the very first time in history. They all are buying cars and living and enjoying the life of standard about which their parents could only dream about. At the same instance, society need to address out the following stress issues for the growing population on our planet earth. This includes the threat of global warming. To avoid this government needs to take an action and find ways to reduce the emission of this carbon dioxide. This company is facing different challenges related to the emission of this gas that destroys the nature along with the health of people as well in a great way. Age for the easy to access oil along with the gas is completely over. This shell Oman Oil Company is facing technical as well as the environmental challenges in the development of new resources of oil as well as the gas. Not only this but these challenges are increasing drastically. Much of the undeveloped energy resources are available in different areas like frozen arctic along with the deep oceans and all of the remaining oil and gas increasingly contains number of different impurities that makes difficult to extract oil and process them as well. So this is another big challenge for this company as because of the presence of impurities it has become really hard to extract the oil which they want or require. This is the first challenge, there are number of different challenges which are also being faced by the employees while extraction of oil through such areas and one can imagine how difficult process it would be and what kind of the certain challenges every employee has to go through while doing this extraction process. (Searle, 2019)

2. Training challenge of Shell Oman Oil Company:

Selection of the employees is one of the biggest challenge and along with this another challenge which this company is facing from few last years is the proper source of training their employees. The impact of not giving proper training to the employees not only makes them less in confidence among others but it also makes them less motivated as well. On the other side, there are many companies who are using the proper source for training their employees and it results in a very positive environment. So one of the biggest challenge which I believe is not giving proper training to the employees working in this shell company and due to which employees are not working that enthusiastically as they need to or they should. (Jia, 2016)

Organizational structure/design of Shell Oman Oil Company

At the start or beginning of 2000, this shell group of companies was emerging out from one of the most ambitious as well as far reaching organizational restructurings of almost 93 years in a history.

(Warrlich, 2018)

Centralization of Shell Oman Oil Company

Their decision making is concentrated at a single point and that is mostly at the top of management.

This is highly centralized because the shell is applying formal structure that is only concerned by the centralization.

Top management of the shell that is being used by the formal authority to make discretionary choices for permitting the employees for the minimum input for their work.

Shell Oman Oil Company is using mechanistic structures in their whole organization.

This shell oil company has a very stable environment that is being combined with the low level of complexity that further leads towards the low uncertainty.

Impact of Organizational culture

Every area has their own set of culture same is the case with shell Oman Oil Company, there were many hurdles that come in the path. Here for the shell oil company, the organizational culture has served as the catalyst for the help and guiding the behavior for the company along with the employees working in this organization towards one another. Culture is basically defined as the basic set of understandings that are being shared by the number of different members of a complete organization that further influence on the decision making and then further this is being passed to the new coming members of the organization. So in the same way, organizational culture has worked for the Shell Oman Oil Company. (Ali Taha, 2016)

Recommendations of Shell Oman Oil Company

In the end I would like to give some recommendations for some of the challenges that I studied about this oil company. Very first recommendation is that instead of using people for the extraction of oil and gas from the areas they should have proper machinery which can do the process of human beings because in this process human health is being effected greatly and this is the duty of the oil company that they should take care of their employees in all the possible ways. Another recommendation which I would like to give here is that there should be proper schedule for training the employees in all possible ways because if there are not trained employees ultimately it will cause an effect on the whole organization and this effect will be negative.
