Principles of Management Applied Research

While I totally appreciate the slight negative opinions of others here in my personal opinion it all comes down to the fact that Google is actually a business and so has to make money. I appreciate that some of its dealings are a little 'shady' but show me a Global corporation that doesn’t come across this way in some elements of what it does.  (Think Apple and its over priced media services.)

Google is one of the most popular, and most used web search engines in the world. Google also has many services that helps you send mail, generate website pages, and create blogs. With all of these great tools come many great, user-friendly features specifically tied to Google. Google has vastly become one of the best search engines in the world, if not the best. Google averages about 12 billion searches per month, which is the most by any search engine in the world. Users can also search for photos, newsletters, and even geographic locations. The best part is, that all of these services are basically free. Google has also set to build more then just a search engine. Google is working on Google glass, self-driving cars, and even have a cell phone called the Android. Google also owns the rights to YouTube, where many users go to upload and watch countless videos. Another great thing the company is doing is spending money on alternative energy sources; last year Google spent 1 billion dollars trying to increase the use of wind and solar energy. Google is also fighting in D.C. to keep the Internet free for Americans. Lastly, Google has one of the best working environments in the world. Google has been the number 1 best company to work for 5 times in a row, including this year. They have been reported to the best human resources department in the world, taking their employee’s happiness over profit. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Google is not the best company to work

Training: The employee will conduct on-line training assignments as well as a short time period of on the job training with an experienced CO-worker to get a feel for the position. Once the trainer feels the employee is capable of assuming his/her duties they will begin their telecommuting position. The Employee will be paid at their full rate during their OJT period.

Privacy is dead on the internet and unfortunately, a large part of that is due to the fact that many companies make unethical decisions. Many companies today miss the fact that ethics in business is needed, such as the company Google. Although a large majority of Americans use Google almost every day, most do not realize how unethical many of the company’s decisions actually are. Google is one of the companies towards the top of the list of companies that do not think about the impact of their developments and how it affects the users. These practices have been known about for years and have been publicized, but unfortunately only a small amount of people seem to question the issue of ethics.

Google defines itself as a non-conventional company which intentionally avoids the traditional management models. “Google has been managed differently in an atmosphere of creativity and challenge.” That said by Eric Schmidt, CEO, who also affirms that the business is driven according what Peter Drucker understood as a way to manage the “knowledge workers” in 1959. The idea was first described in his book 'The Landmarks of Tomorrow'.

Since its creation, the Internet has continuously grown in importance as a means to obtain information. This is due in part because it is not censored like the rest of America’s mainstream media, such as television, newspapers, and the radio. Nevertheless, the issue of censorship has raised many controversial issues, not only in the United States, but also throughout the world. In the debate by Intelligence2 (2008): Google Violates its Don’t be Evil Motto, it is argued that Google has violated its self declared motto that it wouldn’t be evil, thus putting people’s interest before their own corporate financial interests. While Google has committed certain questionable acts I do not believe they have violated their motto. Harry Lewis, Randal

Adam is assigned the task of increasing productivity at Guitarras Dominguez while Salvador takes pride in the craftsmanship of 3the work. Adam is unsatisfied with the production rates of Guitarras Dominguez and shows Salvador his solutions to the issues of low production, which Salvador refuses to acknowledge and emphasizes that they would not lower their standards just to meet a quota (Daft, 2014). They do not see the full potential to their working alongside each other.

In The Google Story, authors David A. Vise and Mark Malseed narrate the success story of Google’s creators Larry Page and Sergey Brin. This text goes to great lengths to give the complete story on how Google on because the largest search engine the world has seen since its conception in 1998. Vise and Malseed argued that with sheer intelligence, innovation, and unique business tactics Google has created an empire. And after such a short time they dominated the search market. They also claim that Microsoft the main competitor of Google cannot rival, google because google creates landmark quality products and Microsoft only suppresses competition with their abundance of resources. The text also explores how the Founders were influenced greatly by their environment and heavily supported by their families.

The mission of Google- “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”- is broad enough that it allows for Google to use any means possible to organize information. This means that they are neither limited to, search nor are they limited to using the internet in its current form. Google has long held a very human-centric point-of-view, and their mission statement reflects their dedication to user experience in

to becoming a unique Company of modern time. According to Page, the planned restructuring of Google Inc. is a great opportunity for the Company’s expansion that would see it grow its product and consumer base through the devolution of its operations. Moreover, the new structure of the organization would facilitate advanced innovation and at the same time, revamp the organization’s structure and various brands. The autonomy achieved by the new structures, according to Page, would accord him and Sergey a chance to keep a tremendous focus on the various unique opportunities available within Google Inc.

Google, a company that started out as an internet search engine, has grown in to a global corporation whose name now often used as a verb, commands respect. Their number one philosophy was and still is to focus on the end user as they strive to complete their mission of organizing the world’s information and making it accessible (Google, n.d.a). Wanting to remain a private company, Google found themselves at a crossroad. Due to its size and the fact that it had 500 shareholders, Google faced having to become a publicly reporting company. Google had three choices; restructure to get below 500 shareholders by buying back shares from its employees, continue being a private company but report earnings as a public company, or go public (Schmidt, 2010). In April 2004 Google announced its intention of taking the company public (Choo, 2005; Schmidt, 2010). What followed can best be described as a “uniquely Googley” experience (Schmidt, 2010, p. 108) as the company prepared for an initial public offering (IPO) while facing uncertainty, skepticism, law suits, and complete disruption during the activities leading up to the IPO.

In broad leadership affects performance but different approaches to leadership may be required in the overseas operations of multinational organizations. Because some nations may only recruit and promote those individuals that fit the national, culture bound leadership model. This research will therefore investigate the cultural sensitivity of HSBC in particular the employees of HSBC in Hong Kong. The practical implication of this research would be to analyse the effect of culture on leadership skills in multinational organisations.

Larry Page Google’s, chief executive officer, is responsible for Google’s day-to-day-operations, as well as leading the company’s product development and technology strategy. He co-founded Google with Sergey Brin in 1998 while pursuing a Ph.D. at Stanford University, and was the first CEO until 2001—growing the company to more than 200 employees and profitability. From 2001 to 2011, Larry was president of products.

The Equity Theory states that people assess how fairly they have been treated according to two key factors: outcomes and inputs. (Batemen, Snell, 2007) In this case study, Brian is an employee of AMPA and is appointed as the unofficial Help Desk coordinator, however it is clear that there seems to be a lot of inequity in the workplace. Brian was
