Google?s Grand Plan

What?s changed is that Page and his management team have mandated that all Googlers focus on seven business areas, and that they don?t look to expand Google?s reach beyond these core initiatives. The seven areas are: search, advertising, social networking, Android, Chrome, YouTube, and local mobile commerce. ?It used to be almost my judgment about what was important to Google,? Lawee says. ?Now I have someone telling me.? When Lawee looks at startups, he?s on a mission to find companies that will help each of these business units achieve specific goals. If he finds firms that are interesting but not critical to Google?s mission, he passes on them.
