In their dorm room when they first met to discuss their plans for creating an internet search engine they came up with a company called backrub. Backrub gave back links to web sites.

    Google Motorola Takeover

    Evaluate the decision by Google to buy Motorola. What economic concepts would support this investment and in your opinion why might the purchase of Motorola be anti-competitive? “We are on a turning-point in the world of personal technology. For around 30 years PCs in various forms have been people’s main computing devices. Now the rise of smartphones and tablet computers threatens to erode the PC’s dominance, prompting talk that a “post-PC” era is finally dawning.” (Miles, 2011) On August 15 Google announced a $12.5bn deal to acquire Motorola Mobility. Until then, Google was known for its search engine and AndroidTM Operating System (OS). It had always avoided involvements in the hardware market in the past (Halliday, 2011). So therefore this was a quit exceptional deal and also Google‘s biggest acquisition so far. This deal will allow Google to step into the market of making both smartphones and tablets, a new, big step in the gadget-market1. Where it avoided involvement in the hardware market in the past, it is now turning itself into one of the main competitors for RIM‘s Blackberry and Apples iPhone. In acquiring Motorola Mobility Google will pit itself against manufacturing giant Nokia wit hits strategic partner Microsoft. But does this deal supercharge Google and its AndroidTM ecosystem? This essay will attempt to evaluate Google‘s decision by looking at the underlying economic concepts and will draw up an opinion on whether the purchase is anti-competitive or not.…

    Amazon Corporate Governance

    Amazon’s corporate governance is to “focus relentlessly on our customers. Make bold investment decisions in light of long-term leadership considerations rather than short-term profitability considerations. There is more innovation ahead of us than behind us, and to that end, we are committed to extending our leadership in e-commerce in a way that benefits customers and therefore, inherently, investors -- you can't do one without the other. Some of these bold investments will pay off, others will not, but we will have learned a valuable lesson in either case. Focus on cash. When forced to choose between optimizing the appearance of our GAAP accounting and maximizing the present value of future cash flows, we'll take the cash flows. Work hard to spend wisely and maintain our lean culture. We understand the importance of continually reinforcing a cost-conscious culture. Focus on hiring and retaining versatile and talented employees, and weight their compensation to significant stock ownership rather than cash. We know our success will be largely affected by our ability to attract and retain a motivated employee base, each of whom must think like, and therefore must actually be, an owner.”…
