| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to clarify the business activities of Exxon Mobil Corporation over a period of more than thirty years since the early 1970s. The main topics consist of upstream businesses, downstream businesses, diversification, organizational structures, and the Exxon Mobil Merger. One of main conclusions is that the Company rushed to move into various industries, such as office equipment, minerals, nuclear fuel, coal, solar power, synthetic fuels, and others, after the first oil crisis in 1973, but almost all these new businesses had left the Company by the early 21st century. Up to now petroleum and natural gas businesses have still continued to be its main activities.
In addition, this research has reviewed Exxon: Transforming, 1973-2005, by Joseph A. Pratt with William E. Hale, which was published in 2013 and is the fifth volume of the history of the Company.
