Abstract:
|
The case examines the crisis at Yukos, Russia's leading oil company, on account
of a feud between its former CEO, Mikhail Khodorkovsky (Khodorkovsky), and the
Russian government. It gives a brief outline of Russia's history and the Russian
oil industry over the years, and the country's economic and political scenario
during the 1990s.
It discusses the emergence of oligarchs and their relations with the government
during Yeltsin's and Putin's presidential terms. The case then examines the
formation of Yukos, its growth under Khodorkovsky's leadership and the corporate
culture and corporate governance restructuring it undertook during the early
21st century.

available to facilitate better understanding of the Yukos story.
