Google Asia Boss Searches for Local Style

This article is about Google's President that runs the Japan and Asia-Pacific Operations. It is basically an interview done by the Wall Street Journal. They ask the boss about Google's relationship with China, things they have done wrong in an international market, and adjustments they are making to their international department to make it work better overseas. Currently they are working on expanding their company overseas and doing so they have had to make adjustments to their American company overseas and standards. One of the topics discussed is that they have generally required their employee's to speak English, but that has been one of their issues with staffing their international company. They now are allowing for their employees to not speak english. It is a very interesting interview, not only about Google itself, but also about the mistakes they have learned from and what they are doing to make their international business better.

  2. To be perfectly honest, I relly don't care about google. To me it's just another advertisong scheme. I know I sound like a ludite, and that's probably true to a point. But the devestation that the dot com bubble bust caused over ten years ago was caused by people wanting to become rich the eas way. What ever happened to good honest hard work? I am studying human resources nto to get rich, but so I can find a way to help people get empployment. The CEO mentioned something about "internet addiction" I don't think that's a good thing. It takes away from what they should be concentrating on. LIFE!
