company in the Fortune 500, in terms of sales, planned to make a foray in to the foreign
market by acquiring a substantial stake in the Bafal Oil field in Iran of the Premier Oil.

When IOC started talking to the Iranian company for the acquisition in October ,1998, oil
prices were at rock bottom ($ 11 per barrel) and most refining companies were closing
shop due to falling margins. Indeed, a number of good oil properties in the Middle East
were up for sale. Using this opportunity, several developing countries ?made a killing by
acquiring oil equities abroad.?
IOC needed.Government's permission to invest abroad. Application by Indian company
for investing abroad is to be scrutinised by a special committee represented by the
Reserve Bank of India and the finance and commerce ministries. By the time the
government gave the clearance for the acquisition in December 1999 (i.e., more than a
year after the application; was made), the prices had bounced back to $24 per barrel. And
the Elf of France had virtually took away the deal from under IOC's nose by acquiring the
Premier Oil.
The RBI, which gave IOC the approval for $15million investment, took more than a year
for clearing the deal because the structure for such investments were not in place, it wasf
reported.
Questions :
a) Discuss internal, domestic and global environments of business revealed by this case.
b) Discuss whether it is the domestic or global environment that hinders the
globalisation of Indian business.
c) Even if Elf had not acquired Premier Oil, what would have been the impact of the
delay in the clearance on IOC?
d) What would have been the significance of the foreign acquisition to IOC?
e) What are the lessons of this case?
