Assignment questions:
In Google senior executives are organized by functions, e.g. engineering, product management, product marketing, sales, finance etc. this made all the products in the company to be managed by teams with the manager at the head. This organization structure helps Google to assign manager for a particular product or project and manage a team of employees who are working to achieve specific metrics. The main advantage of the matrix organizational structure in Google is that the existence of a manager of a major functions keeps the focus on the product or project that is being developed.
There was no micromanaging in the company. Product/project managers played a role of mentors rather than manager which gave flexibly and an opportunity to employees on their own to figure out the best way to do a work.
Based on the Competing Values Framework developed by Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn I assign Adhocracy culture type to Google which is characterized by dynamic workplace with leaders that stimulate innovation in the company.
Organizational culture in the company was created in a way to encourage collegiality (collaboration with manager of major functions, colleagues not only in the home office but worldwide), break down any barriers which could prevent accomplishment of the company`s strategy and continuous development and launch of new products and services. I would characterize Google’s culture as informal, equal, with high level of employees` involvement, and empowerment and it has an aversion to bureaucracy. All this mentioned encourages engineers to develop good ideas at a faster pace.
