2. What are some challenges Google is facing?
Bureaucracy
• Increase in policies, guidelines required to manage an international company.
• Unnecessary meetings and policies.• Employees may not feel special.
Decision making• It takes a long time to take decisions due to offices in multiple locations.• Sometime the consensus building style is not very effective as people are reluctant to dictate how something should be done.• Difficult for a person who was working in any other organisation
Ensuring visibility
• Lack of interpersonal relationships as the number of employees increased which resulted into problems like how to contact the right person at the right time.
• It is difficult to find out who is working on what. Leads to replication of efforts.
Guaranteeing international consistency
• Communication and consistency is a challenge due to international expansion.
• Striking a balance between local and Google culture.
3. Devise an action plan to ensure that Google retains its entrepreneurial spirit.
• Start up within Google Work independently and recruit other engineers
and use Google’s resources, like its code base and servers.
• Expectancy Theory Comprehending an employee’s crucial objectives &
the relation between effort-performance-reward-individual’s goal satisfactions.
• Google’s Mission “Organize the world’s information & make it universally accessible & useful”
• Streamlining the Idea validation process Segregating the talent pool and matching the right
idea with the right mentor.
• Global customization at local level Encouraging the local spirit.
• Exploring new industries through M&As around the world and giving opportunities to work in new projects and new product development models.
