Evolutionary Advantage

I was researching Google organisation structure and came across this interesting perspective on Google from leading corporate strategy theorist Gary Hamel - circa 2006 (Opinion – Wall Street Journal).

Hamel discuss Google novel management system (evolutionary advantage) which attributes to why it revenues grew (which it has) and could grow more. He compares 4 Evolutionary risk factors that typical businesses fail at against that of Google.

The 2nd last paragraph about the evolution of Google is quite a convincing summary – so much so that it made me question that maybe Google is on the right track with its strategies??? and should we be considering in our report that no changes should be made???

This article would be a good cross check on some of our ideas
