Open culture is a concept that knowledge should be
spread freely and its growth should come from developing, altering or enriching
already existing works on the basis of sharing and collaboration, without being
restricted by rules linked to the legal protection of intellectual property.
Example: Larry page – CEO and
Co-Founder of Google.Co
Larry Page holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering
from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and a master’s degree in computer
science from Stanford University. Larry Page is an American computer scientist
and internet entrepreneur who co-founded Google Inc. with Sergey Brin in 1998
and is the CEO of Google’s parent company until 2001 and grow the company to
more than 200 employees and profitability. From 2001 to 2011, Larry was
president of products. As a Google’s chief executive officer, he is responsible
for day-to-day operation and leading the company’s product development and
technology strategy. Now, Google is one
of the top software as a service (SaaS) vendors with its Gmail and Google Drive
products.
Larry page is an open culture entrepreneur because he
urges his employees to believe in crazy ideas and accept to all ideas that the
employees provide. He believe that those ideas are the ideas “that could really
change the world”. In order to have a more active management approach at
Google, Larry Page strives to work quickly and encourages faster decision to be
made. So, Larry Page asks the staff to give him updates on their current
projects so he can constantly be involved and also can be efficient in decision
making. Larry is an introvert, so that
he more likely to hear other people’s creative and innovative ideas.
Although
Googlers share common goals and visions for the company, Googlers hail from all
walks of life and speak dozens of languages and reflecting the global audience
that they serve. They strive to maintain the open culture often associated with
startups that everyone is feels comfortable sharing ideas and opinions.
