Azerbaijan: pipeline to the east

Article Abstract:

Azerbaijan is seeing a new oil market emerging from the Caspian Sea and the Azerbaijan International Operating Company, a consortium of 11 international oil companies is aiming to take 800,000 barrels a day out of the Caspian Sea, by 2000. Many western brands are setting up in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, although it is a difficult place to do business, despite relatively stable politics and inflation under control. The stifling bureaucracy means that it can take six months to register a company in the country. Two major problems are the war with Armenia and the lack of privatisation progress.

So what's in the pipeline?

Article Abstract:

Companies which want to have continued growth must have new businesses in the pipeline as their core business reaches maturity. This ability to have a new business ready for growth at the right time requires new entrepreneurial skills and a commitment to increasing market share and company revenue. These two stages in business are growth horizons. The new business on horizon two will probably not be making profit as the business on horizon one reaches maturity, but it will have customers and it will be attracting investor interest. A third business horizon may feature research and pilot projects.
