false 5100525 4 An indispensable manual for survival and success that asks the most important question today's leaders, in any industry, can ask themselves: What would Google do?To demonstrate how to emulate Google, Jarvis lays out his laws of what he calls "the new Google century," including such insights as:Think Distributed, Become a Platform, Join the Post-Scarcity, Open-Source, Gift Economy, The Middleman Has Died, Your Worst Customers Are Your Best Friends and Your Best Customers Are Your Partners, Do What You Do Best and Link to the Rest, Get Out of the Way, Make Mistakes Well… and More. He applies these principles not just to emerging technologies and the Internet, but to other industries--telecommunications, airlines, television, government, healthcare, education, journalism, and yes, book publishing--showing ultimately what the world would look like if Google ran it. The result is an astonishing, mind-opening book that will change the way readers ask questions and solve problems. 5167275 1 2 2009 What Would Google Do? total:182|5:41|4:78|3:48|2:14|1:1| 182 690 448 68 2 1 false false Wed Nov 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 08:40:25 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 11:02:19 -0800 2008
