This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All
In an information age full of Google-powered searches, free-by-BitTorrent media downloads, and Wiki-powered knowledge databases, the librarian may seem like an antiquated concept. Illuminating the state of the modern librarian with humor and authority, Johnson showcases librarians working on the cutting edge of virtual reality simulations, guarding the Constitution, and redefining information services-as well as working hard to serve and satisfy readers, making this volume a bit guilty of long-form reader flattery.

Does Your Strategy Rely on a "Pan-Asian Identity"?
Because countries may differ in how they respond to products and brands, this variation creates chances for companies to gain a new edge over its rival firms. Yahoo's continued dominance over Google in Japan is a good example of how the former's devotion to that country has solidified its position despite its loss of share in the U.S. Does a Pan-Asian identity really exist? Outside of Asia, this region is often talked about in sweeping terms.

  • Innovation on the Edge
    I’ve played on the edge throughout most of my professional career, whether it was doing deals in the Sultanate of Oman back in the 1970s, building a start-up around a new technology called the microprocessor in 1980, building a new Internet-focused practice for McKinsey in 1993 or spending more time in places like Bangalore, Shenzhen and Shanghai in the early part of this decade (my first visit to Shenzhen was actually in 1982 when I led a major manufacturing offshoring initiative there). Instinctively, I have been drawn to various edges because of the opportunity and challenge they

  • Why Google Employees Quit
    In 2008 Google HR set up a private Google Group to ask former employees why they left the company. The thread shows a brutal honesty about what it’s like to work at Google, at least from the point of view of employees who were unhappy enough to resign. One message stands out though in most of the posts - employees thought they were entering the promised land when they joined Google, and most of them were disappointed. We’ve been forwarded what appears to be authentic posts to the thread by a number of ex-Googlers, which we reprint below minus identifying information other than their first names.

  • Can Google Take on Wall St — and Win?
    Dear Google, Google Finance is nice. Tracked , ValueCruncher , StockTwits , and many more are the leading edge of a revolution — a revolution in what finance has been for the last several centuries, and what it must become in the 21st. Tags: Finance Googl Eric Schmidt recently said, " CIOs are trapped in a 1980's architecture ." Actually, the world is trapped in a 1970's architecture: a financial architecture that was designed for a bygone era, without the prosperity of future generations and the natural world in mind.

  • Google, China, and the New High Ground of Advantage
    And the recent skirmish between Google and China is its best example yet. The new high ground is an ethical edge. That's the real lesson of Google's refusal to play by China's rules . An ethical edge doesn't just build stronger brands, though added cred is a certainly a benefit. A hill, a giant chasm, and a cloud-covered peak. Close your eyes and picture a lopsided "M" for a second.
