The Two Types Of BP Oil Spill

There are two types of acceptance strategy active or passive when an IT department knows about a risk and does nothing about it and passing if off to the members on the project. A company that has established a backup plan, has time available, funds, and resources that are an unknown risk and known threats.

Oil Company and their platform rigs and how their rush to get the work done on time cause an oil spill and how they accepted the risk. The BP Deep Horizon Disaster in 2010 could have been avoided if they would have corrected the problems they ran into instead of ignoring them. Those in charge cut corners on the project and disregarded the cost of parts that needed to be replaced because waiting for new material could slow down work and

would push the completion date of the project further back. BP wanted to meet the scheduled date and put pressure on the Deepwater Horizon rig supervisors to rush the process the sooner the rig was up and running the sooner the profits would start coming in parties involved BP, Halliburton, Transocean, and Cameron, were held responsible for the parts in the disaster this situation could be looked at the profits were more important than the safety but the reputation that each company held before this disaster will never recover.

Company knowing that a situation will happen and decides not to do anything about is acknowledging that they will take the risk regardless of the limits on that risk even though it will affect operations, jobs, image, and status, company assets, other personnel, other corporations, and in the case of BP the Nation (Gallagher & Locke, 2011).
