1.0 INTRODUCTION
PETRONAS was a national oil and gas company of Malaysia that was established on
August 17, 1974, in accordance with the Malaysian Company Act of 1965. The Parliament enacted
the Malaysian Petroleum Development Act (PDA), 1974, on October 1st. The Prime Minister's
portfolio was given responsibility for petroleum development. According to the PDA, PETRONAS
was granted ownership of the world's petroleum resources and given exclusive rights, authority,
freedoms, and privileges in relation to the exploration and development of these resources. The
Federal and State Governments received royalties from PETRONAS in exchange for the
ownership and two rights. PETRONAS was granted the authority to handle the processing,
refining, and production of petrochemicals. By virtue of this law, PETRONAS was granted
exclusive authority to oversee Malaysia's petroleum resources and was tasked with managing them
for the benefit of the country. With three distinct large oil corporations, Sabah Shell, Sarawak
Shell, and Esso, the first production sharing agreements were inked before the end of 1976. In the
early years, PETRONAS' tasks mostly consisted of overseeing and controlling the exploration
efforts of its contractors to make sure the upstream activities were being properly managed and
administered.
Since PETRONAS first came into existence in 1974, it has evolved from just managing petroleum
resources to project management, subsequently establishing itself as the operator in upstream
activities, before diversifying its operations and becoming global. When PETRONAS CARIGALI
Sdn Bhd was founded in 1984, it became the operating arm for upstream operations. Later,
PETRONAS conducted several strategic studies that encouraged it to diversify its business
operations into oil refining, gas processing and use, petrochemical manufacture, and international
1
marketing. It has integrated upstream and downstream activities, turning PETRONAS into an
integrated oil and gas company, to maximize the value and synergy of the natural resources.
Through its operating subsidiary PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, PETRONAS began to
diversify its international business in 1994. In 1998, it increased its global operations into 15
additional countries, both upstream and downstream. The Confederate Independence of the Soviet
Union (CIS), the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region were all included in the PETRONAS
global business. Algeria, Sudan, Libya, and South Africa (downstream Engen) were a few of the
Arica nations. Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan received investments from the CIS. Iran, Syria, and
Iraq were included in the Middle East investments (still in negotiation). The overseas portfolios in
the Asia Pacific region comprised Vietnam, Myanmar, China, and Australia (both Upstream and
downstream). PETRONAS had created a new mission and vision in accordance with its new
strategic plan in response to globalization.

2.0 PLANNING
Setting goals and objectives and developing a plan of action to attain them constitute planning,
the first and most crucial function of management. It helps to boost managerial performance
and direct an organization's future operations. When projecting and preparing for future
situations, a firm or organization must be aware of the environmental challenges that they are
currently facing. To lead the organization in attaining its goals and objectives, managers are
required to have strong decision-making abilities. Managers will establish detailed strategic
action plans that strive to fulfil organizational goals. Identifying the organization's mission and
goals, developing strategies, and putting those plans into action are the three processes in
planning.
The goal of Petronas Gas is to become a leading gas infrastructure and utilities company that
aids in the growth of the country. This study underlined the importance of integrated upstream
and downstream activities in enhancing the value of the primary resources and described oil
and gas as the core business. PETRONAS wants to provide more weight to gas and
petrochemicals in accordance with the downstream industry trend and the relevance in the
value chain. It stated a desire to focus on the core businesses while outsourcing the non-
strategic tasks and divisions. PETRONAS has created strategies that concentrate specific
industry sectors, focus on specific geographic areas, and take advantage of its competitiveness
in a particular market segment.

2.2 PETRONAS’S mission
The PETRONAS mission statement was created to clarify the organization's goals, reinforce
its vision, and specify the corporate course for accomplishing the vision. The mission
statements are ‘We are a business entity”, “Petroleum is our core business”, “Our primary
responsibility is to develop and add value to this national resource”, and “Our objectives is to
contribute to the well-being of the people and the nation”
The mission statement identified petroleum—which includes both oil and gas—as the primary
business. It was necessary to search, develop, manufacture, process, and transform petroleum
as a natural resource into consumer goods like gasoline, ethane as a feedstock for petrochemical
plants, and gas for power plants. By coordinating the upstream and downstream processes,
PETRONAS was able to maximize the value chain of this natural resource. Exploration and
production of petroleum were upstream activities, whilst processing and conversion of the
natural resource into other utilities and feedstock for petrochemical plants were downstream
activity. The mission also stated that one of the goals was to promote the welfare of the
populace and the country. PETRONAS believed that because it was given the exclusive rights
and the duty to develop the natural resources under the PDA (Petroleum Data Analytics), it
also had the duty to safeguard the welfare of the people and the nation, who it considered to be
the owners of the wealth of the nation's natural resources.
The PETRONAS Exploration and Production (E&P) business unit has defined its unique
objectives to achieve the corporate vision and mission, using the vision and mission as the
cornerstones of the company's strategy. The specific goals are they want to generating RM 58
billion in value for the company by the year 2005, being the top quartile Total Corporate Return
(TCR) in the international E&P sector, in the same year they want to increase the proportion of
income from overseas operations by 30%, by the year 2000, to amass 1 billion of oil equivalent,
and to become the top gas firm in South Asia's upstream.
Some of these strategies were integrated across businesses to create synergies and provide value
to the organization to achieve the PETRONAS E&P objectives. PETRONAS established
service firm alliances to reduce development costs and strategic relationships with other
5
companies in its overseas initiatives to share the risk to optimize value creation for the
corporation.
The PETRONAS value system was created to outline the ideals that the company promoted
and the standards it sets for its employees. The four ideals that PETRONAS adopted are
cohesion, loyalty, professionalism, and integrity. The term "loyalty" referred to employee
loyalty to the company and the country. A devoted workforce upheld a positive corporate image
and refrained from disparaging the organization or the nation. The personnel would constantly
offer constructive criticism in corporate forums, support and take part in ensuring that the
company's mission, roles, and objectives were met in all their operations, whether private,
public, or social.

considered when making decisions. It also specifies how the obligations are to be fulfilled. Job
design decisions are those that are made about the nature of positions inside the business.
At this level of organization, the optimum way to departmentalize or group jobs into
departments is determined. This is to efficiently coordinate work. Departmentalization can be
done in many ways, such as by function, product, geography, or client. Multiple
departmentalization strategies are employed by many sizable corporations. The two concepts
of centralization and decentralization are distinct. When decisions are centralized, they are
made at the highest levels, and lower-level personnel just carry them out. Decentralization, on
the other hand, involves delegating decision-making to managers who are near the activity.
The way decisions were made was centralized, and each business unit had its own committee
that was presided over by the president of that company. The Management Committee and
Board meetings were used to make the organization's decisions and guiding principles. Most
of the members that represented the Management Committee were the various business unit
heads. Members of top management and government representatives made up the board.
The upstream operations were handled by the Exploration and Production (E & P) business
unit. The holding company's Petroleum Management Unit overseeing the execution of the
Production Sharing Contracts that had been signed between PETRONAS and the contractors
as well as managing the domestic petroleum business. The subsidiary of PETRONAS and its
operating arm in the upstream industry was PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (PCSB), which
was a part of the E&P business segments. It possesses both domestic and foreign assets.
International subsidiaries that were fully owned and led by the country managers oversaw
managing the global assets. The case discussed PCSB's struggles with globalization.

vendors, and the community at large. Orders are given from the highest level, the president and
CEO, according to a clearly defined line of power. To enhance organizational and business
performance, PETRONAS has also employed consultants.
While the education division oversees all the educational activities related to PETRONAS, the
corporate planning and development division designs both long- and short-term business
strategies that help the firm develop. It involves the educational programs offered to the
underprivileged population and the scholarships offered by University Technology
PETRONAS. Additionally, the Finance section serves as the company's accounting and
financial reporting foundation. Its job is to uncover lucrative markets where the company can
invest money to get higher returns. It also identifies funding sources to finance the company's
operations. Through its investment in the Mercedes F1team, PETRONAS is involved in the
world of sports. By spending US $ 1.8 billion in the oil and gas industries, it has also helped
Turkmenistan's economy grow.
Then, a section called technical services is created to oversee and direct PETRONAS'
technology endeavors. The Human Resource section comes last and is the most crucial division
because it is responsible for hiring, selecting, and training people, among other things. Through
talent hunts among local and international graduates, PETRONAS chooses the best and
brightest staff. Through technical training and creative programs offered by University
Technology PETRONAS, PETRONAS develops and molds its own workforce.
The CEO received regular updates from the Chief operating officer (COO), who oversaw the
three regional operations. The daily operations were overseen and regulated by three regional
general managers, who regularly updated the COO. They made sure the safety and goals of the
regional office were met while conducting most of their operations offshore. The major goal of
these regional offices was to satisfy the national target established by PETRONAS by
8
producing oil and gas at a specific rate. In doing so, the daily operation of the equipment, the
production platforms, maintenance, and operation safety were maintained.
4.0 LEADING
The leaders of PETRONAS are Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Mohd Bakke Salleh as the Chairman
and YM Datuk Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Kamadjaja Aziz as the President and
Group Chief Executive Officer. While the leadership team is hold by MohamedFirouz Asnan
as a Senior Vice President of Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM). The coronavirus
pandemic, the OPEC+ alliance's failure to reach a timely production agreement, and ongoing
energy market imbalances all came together in 2020 to have a profound impact on both
global energy demand and oil prices. PETRONAS today reported a commendable
performance for its fiscal year that concluded on December 31, 2020,
9
Notwithstanding these obstacles and the speeding up of the energy transition. The Group
produced good operational results throughout the year by putting risk mitigation measures into
place as quick responses to harsh market conditions as well as intentional moves to increase its
resilience. Along with this, PETRONAS continues to put emphasis on improving operational
efficiency, commercial excellence, and financial restraint throughout its value chain.
The Group's earnings for the fourth quarter of 2020 were better than the previous quarter,
primarily because of an increase in the volume of liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales, which was
made possible by a minor increase in oil prices. If there are still questions about how the
coronavirus pandemic will affect the economy, PETRONAS will continue to take decisive
actions to reshape its portfolio mix, rework its human capital equation, and place an emphasis
on focused execution at a rapid pace in order to weather the storm. This is all done in
accordance with its three-pronged growth strategy.
PETRONAS Berhad has been given a good impression based on their salaries. Most of
their employees think they are paid fairly at PETRONAS. Report has been made for the most
popular benefits at PETRONAS. The employees are mostly agreeing that PETRONAS gives
their employees a lot of perks such as paid sick leave, life insurance and disability, paid
holidays and vacation, education, training, tuition, and certification reimbursement, flex- time
and flexible schedule, casual dress and atmosphere, and also free drinks. This shows that
