EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This six page letter to Googles CEO, Eric Schmidt, is signed by 37 researchers and
academics in the fields of computer science, information security and privacy law.
Together, they ask Google to protect its customers communications from theft and
snooping by enabling industry standard transport encryption technology (HTTPS) for
Google Mail, Docs, and Calendar. Google uses industry-standard Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Secure (HTTPS) encryption technology to protect customers login information.
However, encryption is not enabled by default to protect other information transmitted by
users of Google Mail, Docs or Calendar. As a result, Google customers who compose
email, documents, spreadsheets, presentations and calendar plans from a public
connection (such as open wireless networks in coffee shops, libraries, and schools) face a
very real risk of data theft and snooping, even by unsophisticated attackers. Tools to steal
information are widely available on the Internet. Google supports HTTPS encryption for
the entire Gmail, Docs or Calendar session. However, this is disabled by default, and the
configuration option controlling this security mechanism is not easy to discover. Few
users know the risks they face when logging into Googles Web applications from an
unsecured network, and Googles existing efforts are little help. Support for HTTPS is
built into every Web browser and is widely used in the finance and health industries to
protect consumers sensitive information. Google even uses HTTPS encryption, enabled
by default, to protect customers using Google Voice, Health, AdSense and Adwords.
Rather than forcing users of Gmail, Docs and Calendar to opt-in to adequate security,
Google should make security and privacy the default.
METHODO LOGY
Research questions
A descriptive case study methodology will be undertaken .The case would broadly focus
on the following aspects:
A detailed approach to the business model of Google.
Revenue generator model of Google.
The changes in the business model of Google over the years alongside with increased
competition.
Insights into the business models of its major products, and their relative contribution to
the revenue generated
Comparative analysis of Googles Business model with its competitors.
INTRODUCTION
Company Profile
include online
computing,
and software. Most of its profits are derived from AdWords, an online advertising service
that places advertising near the list of search results.Google was founded by Larry
Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Together
they own about 14 percent of its shares but control 56 percent of the stockholder voting
power through supervoting stock. They incorporated Google as a privately held company
on September 4, 1998. An initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004.
Its mission statement from the outset was "to organize the world's information and make
it universally accessible and useful," and its unofficial slogan was "Don't be evil". In
2004, Google moved to its new headquarters in Mountain View, California, nicknamed
the Googleplex. In August 2015, Google announced plans to reorganize its interests as
aholding company called Alphabet Inc. When this restructuring took place on October 2,
2015, Google became Alphabet's leading subsidiary, as well as the parent for Google's
Internet interests.
Rapid growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products, acquisitions and
partnerships beyond Google's core search engine. It offers online productivity
software including email (Gmail), a cloud storage service (Google Drive), an office
suite (Google Docs) and a social networking service (Google+). Desktop products
include applications for web browsing (Google Chrome), organizing and editing photos,
and instant
messaging.
The

the Androidmobile operating system and the browser-only Chrome OS for a class
of netbooks known
as Chromebooks.
has
moved
increasingly
into
user-generated
data
each
day
(as
of
2009). In
December
2013, Alexa listed google.com as the most visited website in the world. Numerous
Google sites in other languages figure in the top one hundred, as do several other Googleowned sites such as YouTube and Blogger. Its market dominance has led to prominent
media coverage, including criticism of the company over issues such as aggressive tax
avoidance, search neutrality, copyright, censorship, and privacy.
Why-use-Google?
Google is currently the biggest web search engine database. It searches over 22 billion
pages Google uses a unique algorithm called a PageRank system to get targeted results
for your search queries. Ill explain PageRank in more detail later. Finally, Google offers
many useful features, shortcuts and special databases and services. These will be covered
in-other-sections-of-this
course. When you go to this page, at www.google.com, the default setting is for a general
Web search. Other options that are possible from the home page screen include images,
videos, news and maps. There are also links for more search options, advanced searching,
preference settings and Language tools. In this section of the course, I will be
concentrating just on Web searching. See section four of this course of information about
Advanced Searching, Preference Settings and Language Tools. See Section three for
searching images, videos, news, maps and more. In section four, I will introduce you to
some new projects that Google has in the works as well as some fun with Google.
What-is-Googling?
Googling is knowing how google thinks so that you can create searches that are going to
work best for your needs. Googling is knowing how to exploit Googles strengths and
weaknesses (yes Google does have a few weaknesses!) Googling is also knowing how to
access and use Googles special features and databases. The special features and
databases
will
be
highlighted
in
another
part
of
this
course.
How-Google-works?
A spider program finds pages on the public web and builds a huge database from the web
pages. Wordnet defines a spider as a computer program that prowls the internet looking
for publicly accessible resources that can be added to a database The familiar search box
on Googles home page gives users a way to search this database by entering search
terms and symbols that act as search limiters. Googles unique pagerank system decides
how the results should be organized for display. The page rank system looks at a number
of things First it looks at the links going to a particular page and considers those links-to
be-like-votes.
Google-does-have-a-few-weaknesses.
It doesnt support full boolean searching. You can only make use of the default AND, the
forced AND and the OR terms in your search. It only indexes the first 101 kilobytes of a
web page. Another search engine, Yahoo for example, indexes up to 500 kilobytes in the
text of web pages. Although it does stem words, it doesnt allow for truncation. You cant
put in part of a word and get Google to guess the rest. Although if you misspell a word,
or enter a strange word, it will often ask you if you really mean something else and take a
guess as to what you might really be looking for. Google isnt good for most deep web
searches, which is why libraries subscribe to unique databases. However, google is
improving in some specialized areas such as google scholar which searches scholarly
document, google book search which searches the full text of thousands of books and
find in a library which searches the OCLC database. OCLC stands for online computer
library center and is a worldwide library cooperative. Google has a 10 word limit for
searches,
but
we
probably
wont
run
into
this
limitation
too
often.
An Intelligent Company
Google is a great example of how good decision-making should be supported by good
data and facts. Google clearly followed the five steps I outline in my book The
Intelligent Company: Five steps to success with Evidence-based Management:
1. Defining the objectives and information needs: Do managers matter? and What
makes a good manager within Google?
2. Collecting the right data: using existing data from performance reviews and
employee surveys and creating new data sets from the award nominations and
managers interviews.
3. Analysing the data and turning it into insights: simply plotting of the results,
regression analysis and text analysis.
4. Presenting the Information: new communications to the managers
5. Making evidence-based decisions: revising the training, measuring performance
in line with the findings, introducing new feedback mechanisms.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
wind turbines to generate energy as opposed to other sources used such as coal or oil.
Renewable energy typically has a much lower impact on the environment depending
on
the
type
and
often
emits
little
to
no
pollution.
Conscious of its high electricity bills and its impact on the environment, Google has
long had an interest in renewable energy. Renewable energy projects at Google range
from a large solar power installation on its campus, to the promotion of plug-in
hybrids, to investments in renewable energy start-up companies like eSolar. Google
has also worked on making its data centers more energy efficient, consume less
electricity while still handling the same amount of data requests, and has developed
technologies to let people monitor their home energy use. But as of 2010, the
company had yet to live up to its promise to help to finance the generation of
renewable energy. Were aiming to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy
in a way that makes good business sense, too, Rick Needham, green business
operations manager at Google, wrote on the companys blog.
Learning Objectives
1.
Understand that businesses are increasingly acting with concern for the
Comprehend that business can play a positive role in helping to solve the
energy-consuming data centers? Founded in 1998, Google runs the worlds most popular
Internet search engine. Its a position that has earned Google high profits and has given it
huge influence over the online world. Then why would it take a risky investment of
millions of dollars on an activity outside its core business? And why would the US
government provide tax credits to Google and other private companies to invest in
renewable energy? Cant the private market and profit-making interests of private
businesses ensure that an adequate supply of renewable energy is produced in the United
States and globally?
All businesses, including Google, must focus on their economic performance and ensure
they are profitable and provide an attractive return on investment for their owners and
investors. Without this, businesses cannot continue as ongoing entities. For Google and
other companies, their most important bottom line is their own economic bottom line,
which is their profitability, or revenue, minus expenses.
Yet it is clear from Googles investment in wind farms and the activities of private
companies all around the globe that many of todays business leaders look beyond their
own annual economic bottom line and act with concern for how their business activities
affect the environment and the very existence andsustainability of the worlds physical
and human resources and capabilities. This is what this book is about.
All companies must operate legally and achieve profitability to continue as ongoing
entities. All companies also embed and reflect in their decision making and activities the
values and priorities of their owners, key managers, employees, and other stakeholders.
As will be highlighted in this book, some companies, such as BP prior to the Gulf oil spill
in 2010, focus on annual profitability and investment returns to owners more than others.
Other companies, including Google, give priority to other values (besides profit making)
and take into consideration environmental and sustainability concerns along with concern
for annual profits. And other firms, such as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Oakhurst
Dairy, Simply Green, Timberland, Pax World, Seventh Generation, and Stonyfield Farms.
Vision Statement
Google believes that an open web benefits all users and publishers. However, "open"
need not mean free. We believe that content on the Internet can thrive supported by
multiple business models -- including content available only via subscription. While we
believe that advertising will likely remain the main source of revenue for most news
content, a paid model can serve as an important source of additional revenue. In addition,
a successful paid content model can enhance advertising opportunities, rather than
replace them.
When it comes to a paid content model, there are two main challenges. First, the content
must offer value to users. Only content creators can address this. The second is to create a
simple payment model that is painless for users. Google has experience not only with our
e-commerce products; we have successfully built consumer products used by millions
around the world. We can use this expertise to help create a successful e-commerce
platform for publishers.
Beyond the mechanics of any payment system, users must know the product exists.
Discovery and distribution are just as, if not more, important to premium content as they
are to free content given the smaller audience of potential subscribers. Google is uniquely
positioned to help publishers create a scalable e-commerce system via our Checkout
product and also enable users to find this content via search -- even if it's behind a
paywall. Our vision of a premium content ecosystem includes the following features:
Single sign-on capability for users to access content and manage subscriptions
Ability for publishers to combine subscriptions from different titles together for one
price
Ability for publishers to create multiple payment options and easily include/exclude
content behind a paywall
Multiple tiers of access to search including 1) snippets only with "subscription" label, 2)
access to preview pages and 3) "first click free" access
Advertising systems that offer highly relevant ads for users, such as interest-based
advertising
Google already works with a number of premium content providers in a manner similar
to the vision above. Combining our e-commerce system with our search capability and
advertising platform will allow for even more flexibility for publishers and users alike.
Market Focus
google supports the main European Industrial groups operating in Telco and Media,
Banking, Insurance and Financial companies, Industry and Services, Energy and Utilities
and Public Administration market segments.
google cooperates with major Banking Institutions and Insurance Companies in the
identification and implementation of solutions combining core process optimisation with
a substantial improvement in information asset efficiency. More specifically, Reply
operates in defining end-to-end strategies and solutions by integrating the various

development, application and technology.
Public Administration
For Central Public Administration and the National Health Service, Reply leverages its
experience gained in the most advanced online services, integrating applications and
competencies to create specific solutions to manage relations with the citizen.
TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION
The increasing popularity of user-driven on-line services, such as Facebook, Wikipedia
and YouTube, has introduced a new way of experiencing Internet: 2.0; a perspective of
the net based on user collaboration and enabled by tools such as Web Services, User
Generated Contents, Social Networks and Cloud Computing. This is a starting point for
new methodologies and software applications, for the purpose of sharing and
collaboration between people.

Cornerstones of Product Development
1. Build products that people really want o Search is #2 after email as most used
application on Internet
2. Generate and capitalize on network effects
3. Values built into products dont be evil
Process
1. Accept ideas from everywhere
2. Prioritization top 100
3. Small, agile engineering teams
4. Self-organization and visibility
5. User-centered design
Google News currently crawls content from more than 25,000 sources worldwide.
Increasingly, a large number of publishers contribute additional information about their
content via Google News Sitemaps. Sitemaps use standard formats, which are welldefined by Google and other search engines. Future enhancements could allow for
publishers to easily tag individual articles with different levels of access and/or pricing,
as well as additional information about the content, such as identifying source material.
In addition, Google News hosts content from several different news agencies in multiple
languages. Similar hosting services can be provided to any interested publishers,
complete with advertising solutions.
Syndication through affiliate networks may be another option for distribution and
monetization of premium content. This mechanism has proven to be successful in the
overall e-commerce system and may also be successful in the context of premium
content. News publishers can decide to package their content (or a rich preview thereof)
with appropriate branding and advertising units and encourage third parties (e.g., other
newspapers) to host the syndicated content package, exposing it to a broader audience.
Publishers would derive revenue from advertisements embedded in the syndicated
package, as well as traffic from the embedded links back to the publisher. In the case of
premium content, the syndicated content would only contain a free preview, and would
embed monetization units for micropayment and subscription. In addition to providing ecommerce and advertising platforms to support publishers' content, Google can provide
the technology for convenient syndication and embedded hosting of the contentmonetization components on third party sites.
Subscription billing - Through Checkout, merchants are able to set up recurring billing,
i.e., subscriptions. For example, a publisher could charge users every month they
maintain a subscription and cancel it any time when the subscription ends. This could be
done for any buyer that has a Google Checkout account. This feature is available now
through Google Checkout. Google uses these same facilities in order to charge customers
for Google Apps. Managing subscriptions from the merchant side is fairly rudimentary
right now but could be improved to be more relevant for news and media companies.
Merchant Center- Web application that allows merchants to manage their orders, solve
disputes, etc.
Key statistics:
Tens of millions of registered Checkout users
Several hundred thousand registered merchants, high number of sellers selling digital
goods
$ Billions of orders processed
Advertising:
In addition to revenue from any subscriptions, Google is able to provide a complete
advertising solution through our DoubleClick ad-serving platform, our advertising
networks, data feeds, and scalable infrastructure to deliver relevant ads to users. Our
platform allows for ads to be sold directly by publishers, sold as part of the Google
Content Network, or sold via multiple ad networks through our ad exchange. We believe
the increased advertising opportunities will likely exceed total revenue from
subscriptions. These products are all currently live and used by thousands of publishers
today and include:
We can analyze existing revenue for any partners to evaluate risk to current revenue from
remnant ad sales.
Our tools and quality assurance team can help identify unwanted advertisers that can be
blocked from running on your sites.
Ad Exchange - Increase sell through and manage your unsold inventory more effectively.
Rich Media and Video - Increase the design and distribution of your display inventory.
Search:
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible
and useful. This applies to all information -- paid and free. Google Search currently
supports discovery of a variety of paid content, from books to scholarly material to
newspaper archives to premium newspaper content such as that from the Wall Street
Journal and the Financial Times. Google works with publishers to support discovery of
premium content in a number of ways today:
Publishers can provide a preview or landing page for Google to crawl, consistent with
what end-users see. This is available to users of Google Search and News.
Publishers can allow Google's crawlers full access to their premium content, but
maintain a paywall or preview mode for users. This content is marked as "subscription"
in Google News.
Publishers can provide free access to the first full article via our "First Click Free"
program, which treats premium content as "free" in Google News and Search, but
requires payment once users navigate away from the first article.

structure. When people refer to capital structure they are most likely referring to a firm's
debt-to-equity ratio, which provides insight into how risky a company is. Usually a

Google Overview
A corporation that was formed to provide internet-based search services, providing
accessibility to the world's online information.
Founded in 1998, Google expanded from their initial search-based services into providing
advertising, applications and services for mobile internet devices.
Google relies upon leveraging technology, such as using complex computer algorithms
(e.gPAGERANK.) to determine how to sort and rank search results.
The Internet has reduced the cost and increased the speed of information transfer. This
has transformed the economic landscape, allowing new and exciting ways to generate
revenue that include and differ from traditional economic models. Through studying and
contrasting several large internet businesses, we have examined the attention, free,
network and gift economic models. In order to explain in more detail how these models
work, we have looked at Google as a unique business case study, because it has used
elements of all of the models we studied throughout its history.
Google started off by offering a gift economy with an aim to organise and make
information accessible over the internet. Over time, this developed into an attention
economy which gained financial return from monetising the traffic to its pages through a
customised advertising platform that tailors advertisements to viewers. By continuing to
offer products and services it uses a free economic model to create an online community
of users who continually return to the site (networked economy) to use Google's services.
By presenting simple explanations of the different economic models and applying them
to the chosen case study, we have outlined the principles and practices which sustain
internet commerce in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Through reviewing
multiple online businesses we were able to focus on one that utilised multiple economic
models to help explain the similarities and differences between the different ways of
conducting business online
