ABSTRACT
This chapter sheds light on how global diversity emerges in the oil and gas industry, a sector viewed at times as controversial (de Roeck & Delobbe, 2012) as a result of the companies’ potential to impact the environment as well as their power to influence competition and regulation through lobbying activities (Ingram & Inman, 1996). The study of diversity in this context is particularly important because the market is characterized by volatility and unstable prices (Hassanali, 2016), therefore requiring constant creativity and innovation, which past studies showed to emerge as a result of diversity engagement.
