Can Google’s winning ways be applied to all kinds of businesses? The authors of “How Google Works,” ( http://www.howgoogleworks.net/ ) Eric Schmidt, Google’s former chief executive, and Jonathan Rosenberg, a former senior product manager at Google, firmly believe that they can.
The critical ingredient, they argue in their new book, is to build teams, companies and corporate cultures around people they call “smart creatives.” These are digital-age descendants of yesterday’s “knowledge workers,” a term coined in 1959 by Peter Drucker, the famed management theorist.

Do people of SN agree that such success can be replicated in diverse environments, diverse cultures? Or, is Google's success one of a kind?

1. Start in the '90s. (where there is less corruption and regulation intended to squelch out your startup)
Oops. Can't really make that one.
How about:
1. Start in a country that (at the time) respects net neutrality enough to allow you to gain marketshare.
Oops. Can't do that here either.
Huh. Better luck next time.
