    Potential Competition, Nascent Competitors, and Killer Acquisitions John M. Yun* INTRODUCTION Assessing the competitive impact of acquisitions is an integral part of antitrust enforcement.

  • Google Building Online Chrome Application Shop 19 May 2010
    Google building online Chrome application shop 19 May 2010 More than 70 million people use the Chrome browser, Pichai said. Chrome Web Store will launch later this year in more than 40 languages and 70 countries, according to Google. Several years ago software savants shifted from crafting applications for installation on home or work computers to making programs from games to email hosted in the Internet "cloud" and accessed through Web browsers.

  • 1.) Content Analysis and the Nytimes on Google's Translation Achievements; 2.) Faster National Learning Rates in World Politics
    Date: Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:41:27 -0500 To: "Dr. Baruch Fischhoff - Chair, National Academy Committee on Improving Intelligence" <[email protected]> From: Lloyd Etheredge <[email protected]> Subject: Supplemental discussion: 1.) Content analysis and the NYTimes on Google's translation achievements; 2.) Faster national learning rates in world politics. Dear Dr. Fischhoff & Colleagues: Two notes about topics that I raised earlier: 1.) Content analysis Concerning the potential for rapid learning systems about a wide range of issues, based on a strategic plan to develop new content analysis capabilities: I am forwarding (below) a copy of an article in this morning's New York Times that gives more detail about the new statistical processing strategies/capabilities for translation that I discussed in memorandum # 15. NSA's capabilities probably equal or exceed Google's. It would be an inspired idea to place these large refer- ence/ R&D databases and analysis tools in the public domain to accelerate further innovations via universities and others. The translation capabilities are only one step in the agenda to develop the full power of content analysis, but they are an important early step. 2.) National Learning Rates I raised the concern, in several earlier messages, about continuing misperceptions and the opportunity to establish databases and analysis tools that can improve national learning rates in world politics in the 21st century. An interesting project to recommend might be a propositional invento- ry/variables list based on the Breslauer and Tetlock edited volume from the Na- tional Academy, Learning in US and Soviet Foreign Policy (1991) and other dis- cussions of political behavior (e.g., Jervis).

  • Google+ Becomes New Playground for Valley Insiders by Chris O'brien Mercury News Columnist 07/08/2011
    Google+ becomes new playground for valley insiders By Chris O'Brien Mercury News Columnist 07/08/2011 There's a new way to tell if you're part of Silicon Valley's "in" crowd. It's called Google+. Launched just a couple of weeks ago, Google+ is the search giant's latest stab at building a social networking service. But most people are stuck outside the velvet ropes of what has quickly become the most exclusive club in the tech universe, because Google extended invitations only to a select group of bloggers, entrepreneurs and tech execs. And to the surprise of just about everyone who has tried it, Google+ is pretty damn good. For now, part of the appeal is its exclusivity, something that's pure catnip to early-adopter types and a bit of genius marketing by Google. Robert Scoble, a leading tech blogger and the insider's insider, joined Google+ on day one, and as of Friday was the fifth most followed person, with 17,109 followers. In a blog post called "Why yo momma won't use Google+ (and why that thrills me to no end)," Scoble expressed the unlikely hope that mainstream users would shun it. "So, what is Google+ for, then? It's for us!" he wrote. "Come on now, we geeks and early adopters and social media gurus need a place to talk free of folks who think Justin Bieber is the second coming of Christ. That's what we have in Google+ right now. Do we really want to mess that up?" Once the invite landed in my inbox, I jumped at the chance to check it out.

  • 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.

  • Search, Antitrust, and the Economics of the Control of User Data
    Search, Antitrust, and the Economics of the Control of User Data Nathan Newmant This Article argues for reorienting many antitrust investigations-and more generally regulatory approaches-tofocus on how control of personal data by corporations can entrench monopoly power in an economy shaped increasingly by the power of "big data." What is largely missed in analyses defending Google from antitrust action is how Google's ever expanding control of user personal data and its critical value to online advertisers creates an insurmountable barrierto entry for new competition. Moreover, Google did not just inherit that business advantage through its innovation in search engine technology. Rather, Google has aggressively expanded its control of user data both by moving into new product sectors to collect additionaluser data and by invading users'privacy.

  • Google's PR Machine
    Jun 12, 2015 14:01 BST Google’s PR Machine - how the search giant deals with public failings Google may be one of the most valuable companies in the world but despite all its success it’s had several notable failures and crises. And how they choose to deal with PR challenges can tell us a lot about the company. Despite their seemingly unshakeable grip on the search market, not all of Google’s products work out. Their attempts to take on Facebook and develop a social networking site have largely failed. Both Google Buzz and the even more ambitious Google Wave launched with much fanfare; with Wave in particular web users were desperate to get their hands on an invite to try it out. However both services were shut down after the initial interest didn’t transform into loyal users. Next up was Google+, a project into which Google poured a huge amount of time and resource. Once again, demand for an early invite was so high that it was called “insane” by G+ product lead Vic Gundotra and new invites were temporarily suspended. However, four years on, and the company is starting to slowly dismantle the platform, leading to the inevitable headlines that G+ is “dead”. While the fate of G+ remains as yet unknown, abandoned social networks aren’t the only PR challenge they have faced in recent years. Privacy is another issue that’s dogged the company, firstly in relation to Google Street View, then in connection with its privacy policy, which the European Union heavily criticised, and most recently as part of a challenge on the ‘right to be forgotten’.
