Analysis that Google and Motorola faces a huge cultural difference
On Tuesday, according to Motorola Insider disclosed that after Google acquired Motorola, problems of just the currently embodied by the two companies. Motorola currently is trying to change their focus on the management and development for a long time in the form structure. Wall Street Journal revealed a Motorola executives to WSJ as Motorola’s management model, the company’s engineers may not be able to adapt to Google employees independent and arbitrary character.
Careers of the two companies are not the same. Younger employees while owned by Motorola, adapt to the more capable, but Google’s approach to absorb more talented people. Former manager of the Android team, said a typical Google employees relative to Motorola employees, may be 20 points higher in IQ. However this is not fair. Google advertisement in general are master’s and PhD, review process is quite stringent, even some seemingly unrelated testing will be conducted.
A cultural conflict between Google and Motorola are inevitable. Google as a software company, there was no need worry that many small defects in the software release is, they’ll just after patch to these vulnerabilities. Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said, as a hardware company, the product from the moment of the issue must be perfect, to meet people’s expectations.
Respond to Google’s so-called cultural conflict, saying it was “be fault finding” and noted that the statement before, Motorola will operate independently. But when it comes to day-to-day operations, when the two companies when the need for special cooperation (such as Nexus or broader enterprise development direction for future development), the problems caused by the differences between the two companies will also appear. There is concern that Google only wants to buy Motorola’s patented, so is it impossible to fully understand the business of Motorola, or when Google can’t achieve intended goals through Motorola, Motorola business even close.
