Steve Rubel has an interesting article about a hypothetical DOJ breakup of Google on his blog. Among other things, he speculates that Google may have to compromise its principle of don’t be evil
in the face of pressure to justify the market’s amazing faith in its business[1].
My question is this: isn’t Google’s unique corporate structure supposed to help insulate it from this sort of thing?
[1] Interestingly, Google’s business declined in value this week, partially as a reaction to Yahoo’s bad news. It seems that they lost the entire market cap of Amazon.com in one week. Sheesh.
