Description
This investigation examines the impact of geopolitical risks on the dynamic capabilities and firm performance of a supermajor international oil company across 20 countries worldwide. In doing so, it contributes to our understanding of the limitations of dynamic capability theory within the energy industry, and suggests several context-specific approaches to capability development within that sector. Also, by challenging the more popular measures of geopolitical risk in the literature, it extends the conventional understanding of geopolitical risk management in the energy industry. Finally, it explores how these findings directly impact how incumbent energy firms should approach the energy transition.
