Will Google continue to be innovative, successful and grow rapidly following its current strategies? The paper includes study of Google’s business model, its various innovation strategies implemented for human resources, product, diversification & acquisition. The paper also discusses its business model and what drove some products to be highly successful and the reasons and learning’s from those that failed.
