Running Head: INTRODUCTION TO E-MANAGEMENT
Part 1
1. An overview of GoTech company
Gotech is an oil and gas technology company that was established in 2006 and deals with oil and
gas-related products plus advancement in technology in all Saudi petroleum companies. Its main
aim is to ensure that most oil and gas-related technology used by companies within the kingdom
will be locally made by 2035. The company is family-owned and being that it is new, it is
operating under the umbrella-ship of Al Othman Company, a veteran Saudi company, and
another partnership with Saudi Aramco, which is a well-known oil and petroleum supplying
company.

numerous departmental heads that try to make a decision that is necessary for improving the
operations of the company. The collaboration aspect is brought up in the context that the
company has two strategic alliances, al Othman and Saudi Aramco both of which their inputs
have an impact on the governance of the company (Yang, et al 2016).

because of the numerous channels. This is likely to reduce the involvement of employees and
general project failure. Also, another challenge here is the major collaboration between the two,
some companies may not be willing to share the necessary information required.
Cultural and political challenges
The difference in the belief system. Especially between the management of Al Othman, Saudi
Aramco, and the new company GoTECH. The difference in the times of operation, amongst
