The Google Way

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First, I would like to thank all those who contributed to this book's ideas and preparation. The sources that underlie it are numerous and include conversations with current and former Googlers, bloggers, technologists, economists, and many others whose articles and papers were of great help.
