This paper aims to analyse the key drivers for a change in a certain sector. It is based on a strategic event, the proposed merger of Gaz de France (GDF) and Suez, two of France's largest energy companies. The merger was announced in February, 2006, when it was revealed that Italian utility Enel was preparing a takeover bid for Suez (Kanter, 2006). The deal raised criticism by executives at Enel, Italian politicians, and EU officials, who assumed protectionist motives within the French government (ibid.). In June, 2006, the European Commission launched a full-scale investigation, since it also feared serious competition implications on energy markets in France and Belgium (Milne, 2006). Politically, the merger is extremely controversial in France, as it requires a further privatisation of GDF, reducing the government's stake to only 34 per cent, while the present legal minimum is at 70 per cent (Greenwood, 2006; Reuters.com, 2006).After a stakeholder analysis, further examinations by means of PESTLE.

After a stakeholder analysis, further examinations by means of PESTLE and five forces are undertaken to evaluate specific factors and their interrelation for the relevant corporate environment. Then, a further examination of the competitive background reveals two key drivers. First, underpinning the findings from the PESTLE analysis, the political environment is a ***nt factor. The energy sector involves conflicting interests of many political groups and individuals in a domestic and EU-wide context. Thus, the political environment acts as a key driver, along with its strong influence on most other factors, in particular, economic and legal issues. The second key driver, mainly reflecting results of the five forces analysis, is supplier power. Indeed, much of the competition is rooted in pressures from the suppliers. France and Belgium, almost totally dependent on imported gas under long-term contacts, are facing increasing influence from key suppliers, in particular Russias Gazprom. In order to limit dependency on ***ting suppliers or countries, European energy utilities might choose either to diversify their portfolio by offering a broader range of energy products, or to augment buyer power by merging with other companies.

Management Scheme), course: Corporate Environment, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to analyse the key drivers for a change in a certain sector. It is based on a strategic event, the proposed merger of Gaz de France (GDF) and Suez, two of France`s largest energy companies. The merger was announced in February, 2006, when it was revealed that Italian utility Enel was preparing a takeover bid for Suez (Kanter, 2006). The deal raised criticism by executives at Enel, Italian politicians, and EU officials, who assumed protectionist motives within the French government (ibid.).

Then, a further examination of the competitive background reveals two key drivers. First, underpinning the findings from the PESTLE analysis, the political environment is a dominant factor. The energy sector involves conflicting interests of many political groups and individuals in a domestic and EU-wide context. Thus, the political environment acts as a key driver, along with its strong influence on most other factors, in particular, economic and legal issues. The second key driver, mainly reflecting results of the five forces analysis, is supplier power. Indeed, much of the competition is rooted in pressures from the suppliers. France and Belgium, almost totally dependent on imported gas under long-term contacts, are facing increasing influence from key suppliers, in particular Russia`s Gazprom. In order to limit dependency on dominating suppliers or countries, European energy utilities might choose either to diversify their portfolio by offering a broader range of energy products, or to augment buyer power by merging with other companies.
