I HAVE TALKED TO THE CFO OF YUKOS AND WE HAVE COME UP WITH SOME =
QUESTIONS THAT STUDENTS SHOULD ADDRESS IN THEIR CASE PRESENTATIONS. =
THESE QUESTIONS ARE LISTED BELOW:

=20

=20

=20

Suggested questions for AIBEc students presenting the Yukos case

=20

1)      In light of the events concerning Yukos during the past 9 months =
can Yukos strategy of having a transparent company be considered =
successful?

2)      Why did Yukos consider a merger with Sibneft? Why was this =
proposed merger canclled?

3)      What were the primary reasons that the Russian government chose =
to prosecute Yukos on tax evasion and other charges? To what extent can =
the "Rule of Law" be applied evenly in Russia?

4)      Is the Russian government's prosecution of Yukos a one time only =
instance? Is it likely that the government will pursue other companies =
on similar charges?











Dear AIBEcers:

On March 13th at 3pm AIBEc will be holding it's annual Strategic =
Management case competition at Park Place.The case that will be used is =
a Harvard case based on YUKOS.

Please be aware of the following:

Cham case competition on April 10AND th.

The prize for the First Place team will be one free AIBEc course.

The prize for AIBEc teams who finish first at the Am Cham case =
competition will be one free AIBEc course.

AIBEc's case competition will be judged by the CFO of Yukos. He will =
also provide students with several questions to consider regarding =
events subsequent to the date of the HBS case. Other judges will include =
high level executives.

The YUKOS case is available at AIBEc and can be received by sending an =
e-mail to Nazima info.aibec@co.ru        Also Kostya Korotov an AIBEc =
professor recently published a case for INSEAD that discusses YUKOS and =
Khorodowsky. This case can also be received from Nazima.

AIBEc has a long tradition in winning Am Cham case competitions and it =
has won more Am Cham case competitions that any other school. Many =
students who have participated in these case competitions over the years =
have greatly enhance their presentation and analytical skills. Also =
during the past few years a number of AIBEc students have improved their =
job status because of the exposure these competitions have given them to =
the business community.

There are only spaces for 6 teams for the AIBEc case competition so =
register your teams with Nazima by March 10th.
