...------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form CORPORATE HISTORY 1995-1997 1995 * Larry Page and Sergey Brin meet at Stanford. (Larry, 22, a U Michigan grad, is considering the school; Sergey, 21, is assigned to show him around.) According to some accounts, they disagree about almost everything during this first meeting. 1996 * Larry and Sergey, now Stanford computer science grad students, begin collaborating on a search engine called BackRub. * BackRub operates on Stanford servers for more than a year—eventually taking up too much bandwidth to suit the university. 1997 * Larry and Sergey decide that the BackRub search engine needs a new name. After some brainstorming, they go with Google—a play on the word “googol,” a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. The use of the term reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web. Back to top 1998 August * Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim writes a check for $100,000 to an entity that doesn’t exist yet: a company called Google Inc. September * Google sets up workspace in Susan Wojcicki’s garage at 232 Santa Margarita, Menlo Park. * Google files for incorporation in California on September 4. Shortly thereafter, Larry and Sergey open a bank account in the newly-established company’s name and deposit Andy Bechtolsheim’s check. * Larry and Sergey hire Craig Silverstein...

...Google is a worldly recognized corporate conglomerate that was created in 1996 by two Stamford graduates, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. The transformation from just a student project to an internet tool that is used by billions is remarkable to say the least. In late 2013 it was reported that Google had 47,756 employees (www.google.com) quite a feat in itself since the starting foundation consisted of ten people. The technology world in this day and age is considered to be a dog eat dog world of competition by most. With fierce competition closing the gaps, Google did not only remain relevant but gave our world innovative products such as Google maps, Picasa, Google Earth and Gmail. After an extensive analysis within the focal area of behavior and process Google’s group environment engages in a pivotal role that has contributed to the company’s current status, and their amazing longevity. Throughout Google’s existence since 1996, there have been some mergers, and changes of command. Despite these expansive changes, the company frivolously keeps to their solid principles of the companies originators. From the ground up with a mission statement “Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” Google is one of the first search engines to place the customer or user first. It is no secret that advertising is what makes the web profitable; however there is a plethora of companies who place the almighty dollar first and foremost...

... he seen what needed to be done and created change, and came up with innovative ways in creating the largest and most profitable internet based company in the world today. Starting out in his friend’s garage, Larry’s creative thinking led them to come up with innovative ways to make money, such as selling advertisements, and even creating a web based email called Gmail, to allow users to set up email accounts that tailor to their needs and can hold more storage than any other email carrier (San Juan, 2010). The impact that Larry’s creative thinking has had on Google has been tremendous. Starting out from a garage to becoming one of the largest internet companies in the world today proves that living on the idea to be creative and innovate, you will always grow, and that is exactly the motto Larry thrives on day in and day out. Creativity is in everyone, and if we can all tap into it as Larry did from Google, we can all grow from just starting out in a garage to becoming the largest organization in the world.

...deliverability. Since the new engagement policies took effect, email providers including Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and AOL began regulating deliverability based on past engagement. This means that if consumers do not regularly open and click on emails sent from businesses, the ESPs may stop delivering emails from that company, and may divert those messages into the spam folder, even if the user has subscribed to the content in the past. Google, specifically, has made some big adjustments on its own as well. Email billers and marketers were sent into a frenzy when Google announced the introduction of tabs to Gmail inboxes. The objective was to make it easier for users to unclutter their mailboxes by moving certain marketing messages out of their primary inbox and filing them under a Promotions tab. "We wanted to give our users more control over their inbox," Alex Gawley, product manager with Gmail, said in an interview with Marketing Land in May 2013, when Google first introduced the tabs. After much testing, Google found that people were scanning their inboxes and jumping past certain types of email, such as promotional mailings, "because they weren't ready"...

...Introduction Google Incorporation is an American search engine company, found by Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998. It dominates the market by handling over 70 percent of worldwide online search requests (Hall, 2014). It aims to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Besides, it has an unofficial mission “Don’t Be Evil”, which refers to do good things for the world even though forgoing short term gains (Farfan, n.d.). It successfully expands its business from an online search company to a diverse company. Nowadays, it provides over 50 Internet services and products, such as Gmail, Google drive, Android, operating systems, applications for mobiles and computers. Moreover, when it took over Motorola Mobility in 2012, it began selling hardware, including smart phones and tablets, like Motor X, Nexus 7,etc. (Monhan, 2014). Recently, Google has sold Motorola to Lenovo at a much lower price, $2.91 billion than its purchase cost, $12.5 billion (Pressmen, 2014). Outwardly, it suffers enormous loss on disposal and loss of revenue. Worse still, its third quarter revenue growth rate from July to September in 2014 is far lower than analysts’ anticipation (Guynn, 2014). It may imply that there is stagnation for Google’s earnings. As a result, we will analyze Google based on CVP analysis, cost structure analysis, ratio analysis, and ethical issues and provide recommendations to maintain its sustainability.

...Google in China Case Study Introduction On January 12, 2010 Google’s Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond, posted an online memo that targeted the Chinese government. The company stated that it had detected highly sophisticated cyber-attacks originating from China and that the evidence suggested the primary goal of the hackers was to access Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. The memo further disclosed that Google was no longer willing to censor its search results on Google.cn and it would exit China if its conditions on non-censorship were not met. The problem faced by Google is that, the Chinese government has been determined to control the flow of information on the Internet and insists on removing certain information that it considered politically objectionable from search results. Google’s mission as a company is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. However, China’s policies on censorship seemed to conflict with several of Google’s core principles. There is also the question; did Google do its homework to thoroughly analyze the Chinese operating environment as it relates to censorship? By 2005, Chinese search engine company, Baidu, emerged as the leading internet search engine in China. A very important piece of information to consider is that, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are not considered inherent rights in the People’s Republic of China. Therefore, to compete with...

...Social Search New Media is changing how we search - by Karan, Nalini, Shrawan, Suby SOCIAL SEARCH New Media is redefining how we search By Karan, Nalini, Shrawan, Suby What is Social Network? A social network is a social structure made up of individuals (or organizations) called "nodes", which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency, such as friendship, kinship, common interest, financial exchange, dislike, sexual relationships, or relationships of beliefs, knowledge or prestige. What is Social Search? If one saw a play last month, naturally his friends would ask of it. The answers may give short shrift to the true awful aspects of it — the incoherent plot, the songs not looking like the original — and emphasize the truly cool aspects of the acrobatics and the set design. Therefore for the friends wondering to the play, whose opinion on the play should affect more? The Google search engine was implicitly built on the premise that the view of The Art critic should prevail. An analysis of the link structure of the web would reveal the Times as a popular destination. When the critic weighed in, many others would link to his review. Numerous other “signals” — clues that may indicate increased relevancy of a given site for a given query — also would boost that review’s presence in search results. But others argue that in the real world, people are influenced by their friends and contacts, and Google’s historic approach is lacking. The...
