This course provides an introduction to the business of primary energy production. We will examine the nature of demand and supply in global energy markets, and business considerations for participants in those markets. Students taking this course will be able to identify the distinctive challenges facing enterprises engaged in development of primary energy resources. The course is intended to provide a broad perspective of the challenges for businesses and policy authorities engaged in diverse but integrated global energy markets.
Week 1 – What is energy and who wants it?: Energy is the capacity to do work. In this most essential sense, energy is a basic human need. We will consider how technological innovations have increased the ability of mankind to do work, but only by increasing our demand for various sources of primary energy. We will examine the determinants of demand for energy, and the distribution of demand around the globe.
Week 2 – Where is energy and how do we use it?: A broad range of primary sources are used to satisfy our needs for energy. We will discuss non-renewable and renewable sources of primary energy, and how the distribution of those resources differs from the distribution of global demand.
Week 3 – Key Capabilities for Energy Business: Development of primary energy resources requires a particular set of skills and technologies. We will examine the inputs employed by various energy development enterprises.
Week 4 – Key Stakeholders in Energy Business: Energy enterprises engage in complex activities with far-reaching consequences. Consequently, these activities often motivate to action a diverse set of stakeholders. We will examine the essentially systemic nature of energy businesses, and how that leads inevitably to engagement in political spheres.
Week 5 – Strategic Considerations in Energy Business: In the concluding week of the course, we will consider the strategic implications of the economic, commercial, and political environment of energy.
Learn about diverse and integrated markets for primary energy, and the essential considerations driving business leaders and policy makers in development of global energy resources.
