When Steve Coll entitled his book “Private Empire”, he made his take on ExxonMobil clear. Throughout the book, features of ExxonMobil seem to mimic that of a small country. Among these are the company’s ability to make its own agreements with the leaders of countries, the formation of an internal culture, and their management of a large budget with the potential to change a region of the world where they invest. Considering this, it is difficult not to view ExxonMobil as a private empire. Coll did
