Standard Oil

Standard Oil Co. Inc. adalah bekas perusahaan minyak asal Amerika Serikat. Didirikan tahun 1870 sebagai korporasi di Ohio, Standard pernah menjadi pengilang minyak bumi terbesar di dunia. Sejarahnya yang kontroversial sebagai perusahaan multinasional pertama dan terbesar di dunia pada masanya berakhir tahun 1911, ketika Mahkamah Agung Amerika Serikat memutuskan bahwa Standard melakukan monopoli ilegal.

Standard Oil mendominasi pasar produk minyak melalui integrasi horizontal di sektor pengilangan, dan kemudian juga pada integrasi vertikal. Standard Oil menguasai produksi dan logistik, memangkas harga, dan mematikan kompetitornya. Para kritikus menuduh Standard memasang harga agresif untuk menghancurkan kompetitornya dan membentuk monopoli yang membahayakan konsumen.

John D. Rockefeller merupakan pendiri dan pemegang saham utama. Dengan dipecahnya Standard Oil menjadi 33 perusahaan yang lebih kecil, Rockefeller menjadi orang terkaya dunia pada waktu itu.
