That didn’t take long. Larry Page has only been back in Google’s top spot for a few days now, and everyone’s already talking about the company’s major reorganization. No one at Google is offering a lot of information on the matter, beyond the fact that Page has “put key executives in charge of their individual business units” according to The LA Times.
The reorganization has apparently been planned at least as long as Page’s ascension to the CEO position has been public. The LA Times again, “the company was clear his top priority would be to create clear lines of accountability and responsibility across Google.” Page reportedly did an inventory of the company’s infrastructure, developing a way to streamline the process that he would implement as soon as he stepped into the chief executive position.
The move seems intended to return the company to its inaugural spirit of creative adventure. Says someone who spoke to the paper anonymously, “The idea is to empower people, let them take risks and give them more authority over decisions.”
Page’s new position is being compared to Steve Jobs’s infamously tight control over Apple.
