Jeff Jarvis: What Would Google do?

Please take 2 minutes to watch the official trailer of HarperCollins; Jeff Jarvis tells us about his new book in a nutshell.

What would the fastest growing company in the history of the world do?

As the Author says: "what I tried to do in the book is reverse-engineer the success of Google and tried to find out the lessons and the laws that have made Google so successful in this new era. […] so we’ll take these lessons and apply them to all kinds of companies. It’s not just about technology […] it’s about any institution in society. […] It’s about thinking differently."

We all need to ask: What would Google do?

Reviews of What Would Google Do?

"Google is not just a company, it is an entirely new way of thinking. Jarvis has done something really important: extend that approach to business and culture, revealing just how revolutionary it is."
[Chris Anderson, Author of 
The Long Tail]

"Unless I missed an earlier one, this is the first religious tract about Google. […] For many industries, following Google's lead is a great idea. As detailed in numerous books, aggregated intelligence is a powerful force and by enabling it, businesses can enhance and accelerate product development, marketing and other vital functions. […] On the whole, "What Would Google Do" is more of a ''What can I do?'' exercise.
" [Richard Pachter, in The Miami Herald]

"The best business books make you stop and think (really think) about what you're going to do tomorrow and why. I hope this one makes you do just that. "

[Seth Godin, Author of the Meatball Sundae]
