Books by Eric Schmidt

Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google as seasoned Silicon Valley business executives, but over the course of a decade they came to see the wisdom in Coach John Wooden's observation that 'it's what you learn after you know it all that counts'. As they helped grow Google from a young start-up to a global icon, they relearned everything they knew about management. How Google Works is the sum of those experiences distilled into a fun, easy-to-read primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption.The authors explain how the confluence of three seismic changes - the internet, mobile, and cloud computing - has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers. The companies that will thrive in this ever-changing landscape will be the ones that create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom the authors dub 'smart creatives'. The management maxims ('Consensus requires dissension', 'Exile knaves but fight for divas', 'Think 10X, not 10%') are illustrated with previously unreported anecdotes from Google's corporate history.'Back in 2010, Eric and I created an internal class for Google managers,' says Rosenberg. 'The class slides all read 'Google confidential' until an employee suggested we uphold the spirit of openness and share them with the world. This book codifies the recipe for our secret sauce: how Google innovates and how it empowers employees to succeed.'

The team behind How Google Works returns with management lessons from legendary coach and business executive, Bill Campbell, whose mentoring of some of our most successful modern entrepreneurs has helped create well over a trillion dollars in market value.

Hvem vil være mest magtfuld i fremtiden, borgeren eller staten? Vil teknologien gøre terrorisme lettere eller sværere at gennemføre? Hvilket forhold er der mellem privatlivets fred og sikkerheden, og hvor meget bliver vi nødt til at opgive for at være en del af den nye digitale tidsalder? Hvordan vil krig, diplomati og revolution forandres, når alle er forbundet, og hvordan kan vi forrykke balancen på en fordelagtig måde? Når ødelagte samfund genopbygges, hvad vil de så være i stand til med teknologien?"Den nye digitale tidsalder" er pragmatisk, inspirerende og ganske fascinerende – den er en fremadtænkende fremstilling af, hvor vores verden er på vej hen, og hvad det betyder for mennesker, nationer og virksomheder.
