Abstract
- The article focuses on American oil business William Companies and highlights the company's aggressiveness to take risks. The company's random purchases have resulted to its assets soaring 823 percent to 485.7 million U.S. dollars and revenues 574 percent to 235.2 million U.S. dollars. Williams' optimism is attributed to Great Lakes Pipe Line, the first of the company's acquisitions that launched founder John H. Williams on buying spree.
