Abstract

Abstract Companies’ responsibilities for safety are important social and environmental welfare concerns. This fictional case—inspired by actual events—presents a capital investment decision intended to improve oil refinery safety. Beyond Oil (BO), Inc. has a recently-acquired refinery that is in need of extensive modernization and repair.
