...Google Library project Khaled Deyab Cal University DBA in Health Care Management and Leadership Introduction Google Library Project's transforms the text into a comprehensive word index to facilitate searching and data mining in new areas. The use does not supersede or replace reading of books; it adds something new to the original work by using words to facilitate searching. It aim to make it easier for people to find relevant books specifically, books they wouldn't find any other way such as those that are out of print. At the same time will carefully respecting authors' and publishers' copyrights. The goal is to create a comprehensive, searchable, virtual card catalog of all books in all languages that helps users discover new books and publishers discover new readers. Users simply search for a book or topic using keywords and Google lists books from its database containing the search terms. Users can then click a book title to view “snippets” of books containing the term(s) searched. We are going to talk about Google Library Project and a history for their straggle in court. We are also going to talk about is it good or bad that Google is a United State corporation bound by U.S. laws., what is the “fair use” doctrine and if we think that Google defines it correctly in this controversy. We are also going to explain why some libraries are backers of the project, while others vehemently oppose it. Discussion Google Library Project's aim to make it easier for...

...MGT 640 Unit 3 – Case Analysis The Google Books Settlement Rhonda Y. Smith-Gullette California Intercontinental University (CalU) MGT 640 Jan 24, 2016 Dr. Ebenezer A. Robinson Abstract This week’s case titled The Google Books Settlement will be the subject of this case analysis. This case analysis will discuss Google US Corporation: good or bad, fair use doctrine, and Libraries that back project the Google Books Project. This case analysis will conclude with a recommendation and a conclusion that will recap the major points of this analysis. Overview People do not read as much anymore. There are other options. YouTube streams videos on every topic imaginable. “Steve Jobs noted people don’t read anymore” (Laudon & Traver, 2012). “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year” (Laudon & Traver, 2012). This is due to the numerous options of acquiring data and information. People are still being educated so what is being used in lieu of books? “e-book sales exploded in 2010, growing from 0.6% of book sales in the United States in 2009 to 6.4%” (Laudon & Traver, 2012). In 2002 Google began a digital library. The same way Pandora and The Pirate Bay benefited from advertising, Google did also. Problems arose when Google sought go put information on their servers that did not belong to them which brings up copyrighted issues. No royalties or fees were paid and this started Googles problems. Lawsuits were filed. ...

...Nearly every piece of work can be changed to digital format, either for archiving and protecting them for future generations, or selling them for profit. A simple search for the work will turn up an extract of the work, but not the whole work in its entirety. Is it wrong to do so display any of the work without asking permission from the copyright holder, or not? I believe that if you own the work then it cannot be reproduced without your explicit permission, and restitution must be made and royalties paid. The problem of locating the actual copyright holder Google has been working to digitize 30 million books. Many of them are still copyrighted. Normally when somebody wishes to display copyrighted information then they will seek out permissions from the holder. Google decided that task would be monumental, so they would have an opt-out option for the program. An analysis of the lawsuit against Google states “The opt-out approach...

Search engine has become indispensable tool for people to acquire information in social life, achieving its economic value while helping people to find the valuable information needed from the ocean of the information (Yu, 2012). Controlling information makes a search engine have the quality of mass media. Therefore, search engine must take the double responsibilities of an enterprise and a medium.

...Is Google making us stupid? Nicholas Carr doesn’t believe so, In his essay Is Google Making Us Stupid? From his article in the Atlantic magazine in 2008, he explains that Google does not make people stupid. Although he does go through and explain how Google has effects on an individual via personal anecdotes, historical references, and current studies. Biggest idea is that Carr wanted to present is that Google hasn’t made humans smarter or dumber, they have just become more dependent on the internet which has consequences. Personal anecdotes helped make Carr’s point relatable to the effects of Google. He went on and told many stories. One in particular to focus on is how his attention span has gotten shorter, “I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin...

...“Sergey Brin calls smartphones ‘emasculating’ – but dorky Google Glass [is] A-OK.” Like every other shiny innovation these days, Google Glass will live or die solely on the experience it creates for people. The immediate, most visible problem in the Glass experience is how dorky the user looks while wearing it. No one wants to be the only person in the bar dressed like a cyborg from a 1992 virtual-reality movie. It’s embarrassing. Early adopters will abandon Google Glass if they don’t sense the social approval they seek while wearing it. Google seems to have calculated this already and recently announced a partnership with Warby Parker, known for its designer glasses favored by the all-important younger demographic. (My own proposal, posted the day before, jokingly suggested that Google look into monocles.) Except for the awkward physical design, the experience of using Google Glass has won high praise from reviewers. Seeing your bitstreams floating in the air in front of you, it would seem, is an ecstatic experience. Weather! Directions! Social network requests! Email overload! All floating in front of you, never out of your sight! For people who delight in a deluge of digital distractions, this is much more exciting than a smartphone, which forces you back to the boring offline world, every so often, when you put the phone away. Glass promises never to do that. In fact, in a feat of considerable chutzpah, Google is attempting to pitch Glass as an antidote to distraction...

Case background and Introduction to IPO Google started out as a research project of determining the importance of a website’s based on the number of pages, importance of those pages and number of backlinks by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996.

...have narrowed our search down to just two companies, Google and Yahoo. In order to make the decision between the two on which one we should acquire, we need to take close looks at who each company is, what they do, and the financial data of each. Google is the world’s largest search engine. Although they started out simply as a search engine, they have branched out to many other markets. Gmail is a very popular email service. Their Android mobile phones are the most widely used of all cellphones. They also have a very popular web browser in Google Chrome. The Chromebook is gaining ground as a lightweight alternative to a traditional laptop computer. Other technology such as Google Maps, google drive, Google earth and others make Google a very innovative company that is not afraid to take on new challenges and expand into different markets. Yahoo is very similar to Google in that it has its beginnings as a search engine. Through a web portal, a person is able to enter anything into a search field and get back results. Yahoo also has an email service that is widely used. Although Yahoo and Google have similar beginnings, they have chosen different paths since then. Yahoo has evolved into one of the world’s leading media companies. They have a large following, and having leading sports, finance, and entertainment news pages, among others. The focus for Yahoo is not creating new hardware and software like Google, but leading the way as a media conglomerate. In...

...what classical principles of organization theory does Google controvert? what principles are employed? Google’s Innovation Machine In the pantheon of internet-based companies, Google stands out as both particularly successful and particularly innovative. Not since Microsoft has a company had so much success so quickly. Google excels at IT and business architecture, experimentation, improvisation, analytical decision making, participative product development, and other relatively unusual forms of innovation. It balances an admittedly chaotic ideation process with a set of rigorous, data-driven methods for evaluating ideas. The company culture attracts the brightest technical talent, and despite its rapid employee growth Google still gets 100 applicants for every open position. It has developed or acquired a wide variety of new offerings to augment the core search product. Its growth, profitability, and shareholder equity are at unparalleled levels. This highly desirable situation may not last forever, but Google has clearly done something right. Indeed, Google has been the creator or a leading exponent of new approaches to business and management innovation. Much of what the company does is rooted in its legendary IT infrastructure, but technology and strategy at Google are inseparable and mutually permeable—making it hard to say whether technology is the DNA of its strategy or the other way around. Whichever it is, Google seems to embody the decades-old, rarely fulfilled vision...
