  • Google's Management Change and the Enterprise
    STEPHEN E ARNOLD APRIL 20, 2011 Google’s Management Change and the Enterprise Google completed its management shift in April 2011 with several bold moves. The story of founder Larry Page’s move to the pilot’s seat appeared in most news, financial, and consumer communication channels. American business executives have a status similar to that accorded film and rock and roll stars. An aspect of the changes implemented in his first week on the job as the top Googler included some surprising, and potentially far reaching shifts in the $30 billion search and advertising giant. First, a number of executive shifts took place. Jonathan Rosenberg, the senior vice president of product management, left the company on the day Mr. Page officially assumed Mr. Schmidt’s duties. Mr. Rosenberg, a bright and engaging professional, was not a technologist’s technologist. I would characterize Mr. Rosenberg as a manager and a sales professional. The rumor that Mr. Rosenberg and Mr. Schmidt would write a book about their experiences at Google surfaced and then disappeared. The ideas was intriguing and reinforced the Charlie Sheen-magnetism senior business executives engender in the post-crash US. The echo from the door snicking shut had not faded when Mr. Page announced a shift in the top management of the company. For example, Sundar Pichai http://www.thechromesource.com/sundar-pichai- chrome-and-chrome-os-vp-being-courted-by-twitter/ (who has been at Google since 2004 and was allegedly recruited by Twitter) took over Chrome, Google’s Web browser and possible mobile device operating system alternative to Android.

Understanding Alphabet and Google, 2017 Published: 24 February 2017 ID: G00297707 Analyst(s): Tom Austin, David Mitchell Smith, Yefim V. Natis, Isabelle Durand, Ray Valdes, Bettina Tratz-Ryan, Roberta Cozza, Daniel O'Connell, Lydia Leong, Jeffrey Mann, Andrew Frank, Brian Blau, Chris Silva, Mark Hung, Adam Woodyer, Matthew W. Cain, Steve Riley, Martin Reynolds, Whit Andrews, Alexander Linden, David Yockelson, Joe Mariano Google's size, market differentiation, rapid pace of innovation and ambitions can complicate fully understanding the vendor and its fit to current digital business needs. CIOs and IT leaders can use this report to explore in detail selected topics from the Gartner Vendor Rating. Key Findings ■ Two outcomes are apparent more than a year after the creation of the Alphabet-Google structure: Google is beginning to show increased momentum and has made significant investments in its enterprise offerings (most of its 2016 acquisitions were focused on this); and it is applying more discipline in Alphabet's "Other Bets." ■ Google is flourishing despite challenging external market factors: adverse publicity, competitors, government regulators and law enforcement. ■ Google values data, encourages bold investments in long-term horizons, pivots plans based on results in near real time, and reveres user-oriented engineering excellence. ■ Google is fully committed to 100% cloud-based and web-scale infrastructure, massive scaling, the maximum rate of change, and stream-lined business processes for itself and its customers. Recommendations CIOs and IT leaders managing vendor risk and performance should: ■ Plan for a long-term strategic relationship with Google based on an assumption that "what you see is what you get." Major vendor changes to core culture and fundamental operating principles in response to customer requests usually come slowly, if at all.

  • C a S E 216 G How Works O Thatruns Across Its Worldwide Data Centers
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The way the company manages information technology often goes unnoticed. But Google‘s unconventional approach to information management is both highly effective and highly efficient—and may be the way other organiza- tions deploy technology in the future. Here’s why. Google CASE 216 A D I S S E C TION GOOGLE How C A S E 2 1 6 Google BY DAVID F. CARR With his unruly hair dipping across his forehead, Douglas Merrill walks up to the lec- tern set up in a ballroom of the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, looking like a slightly rumpled university professor about to start a lecture. In fact, he is here on this April Worksmorning to talk about his work as director of internal technology for Google to a crowd of chief information officers gathered at a breakfast sponsored by local recruiting firm Phoenix Staffing. Google, the secretive, extraordinarily successful $6.1 billion global search engine company, is one of the most recognized brands in the world. Yet it selectively discusses its innovative information management infrastructure—which is based on one of the largest distributed computing/grid systems in the world. Merrill is about to give his audience a rare glimpse into the future according to Google, and explain the workings of the company and the computer systems behind it. For all the razzle-dazzle surrounding Google—everything from the press it gets for its bring-your-dog-to-work casual workplace, to its stock price, market share, dizzying array of beta product launches and its death-match competition with Microsoft—it must also solve more basic issues like billing, collection, reporting revenue, tracking projects, hiring contractors, recruiting and evaluating employees, and managing video- conferencing systems—in other words, common business problems.
