New book out now: Petroleum Industry Transformations: Lessons from Norway and Beyond

Taking the case of the Norwegian petroleum industry as its vantage point, this book discusses the question of industrial transformations in resource-based industries.

Petroleum Industry Transformations: Lessons from Norway and Beyond presents new, empirically-based analyses of the development of the petroleum industry, with an emphasis on three ongoing transformation processes:

Technological upgrading and innovation in upstream petroleum.
Globalisation of the petroleum industry and suppliers’ experiences of entering foreign markets.
Diversification into and out of petroleum – and the potential for new growth paths after oil.

Drawing together a range of key thinkers in this field, this volume addresses the ways in which the petroleum industry and its supply industry has changed since the turn of the millennium. It provides recommendations for the development of resource economies in general and petroleum economies in particular.
