Small is better, oil executive says Oil exploration executive Jeff Montgomery says small is better — at least as far as his million dollar Kirby Exploration Corp. is concerned. Montgomery told a Texas A&M University audience Wednesday afternoon that the strategy of his “small business” is to not be big. Rather than try to compete with oil giants and expansive govern ment regulations, the chairman of the board of the Houston firm said his company maintains a low profile and avoids the “paper work blizzard” imposed on larger corporations. “We can’t afford to cope with the regulations,” Montgomery said. We stay below the threshold of an increasingly burdensome . . . government which requires great disclosure and regulation adher ence.” Montgomery, a 1941 graduate of Texas A&M, said his corporation competes with the other 10,000 oil exploration firms in the United States by relying less on experts and more on individual performance among his management rank and file. Montgomery said individualism is needed in exploration because so many projects fail. ‘There must be something there to keep the people up and motivated,” he said. Montgomery said he asks three things of new management profes sionals: ‘Are you bright? Are you honest? And do you have drive, the will to do it right?” Montgomery was at Texas A&M for the College of Business Admin istration’s Visiting Executive Speaker Series.
