新時代会社？Googleの旅
Journey to the (Revoltionary, Evil-Hating, Cash-Crazy, and Possibly Self-Destructive) Center of Google
Googleの特異性についての考察。
今までのシリコンバレーにおけるスタートアップ、Netscape、Yahooをはじめとする20数社で、若い経営陣がIPOしたあと、彼らの両親ほどのCEOを社外から迎え入れるのが慣例的であったが、
Larry Page and Sergey Brin are, in Silicon Valley terms, of a different generation than Andreessen, Yang, and Filo. Which is to say, they started their company four years later. By then the pair had determined they had no use for many of the Valley’s customs. At every stage in their quest to build what Larry describes as “not a conventional company,” they have ignored the adamant advice of Google’s designated grown-ups. They’ve accepted a middle-aged CEO but denied him full authority. They’ve displayed indifference, even contempt, for Wall Street, their stockholders, and the press.
Googleno創業者であるLarry Page とSergey BrinはミドルエイジのCEOを迎え入れたものの、全権を委任しなかった。（ほぼ3人とも同格の決定権を有する、3人の誰かが決定を下し、あとで二人が承認をすると言う方法をとっているという話を聞いたことがあります。By Genpaku）
