According to the latest foreign media reports, when many investors question why Microsoft is not growing as rapidly as Google, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer said Google, one of its main competitors, was growing too fast.
Microsoft has spent nearly thirty years developing to 75000 employees, and Google has developed into a large-population company in just a short time.
On Thursday, Ballmer told students at the Stanford Graduate School of Commerce: "Google tries to double in a year, which seems crazy to me ." However, he added that this does not mean that Google is not doing well.
Ballmer said that Microsoft's well-thought-out management model has already been on track and has many advantages, and said he didn't see who has proved that "hiring people to do their own thing at will" can create value. Google is widely known to allow engineers to spend 20% of their work time on leisure.
In the past, Google was described by Ballmer as "a pony playing only one trick", which only relies on search to make money. "They will do a lot of cute things, and we will do a lot of cute things, such as robot technology," Ballmer said ."
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, was not far from giving a speech to Ballmer at the time because Schmidt was teaching at the business school, so he happened to have lunch in a business school restaurant.
Microsoft and Google seem to be the most competitive among Stanford and all American schools.
Ballmer believes that there are four major stages of business: generating ideas, developing scale, making profits, and looking for new ideas. "Google is currently at the profit-making stage, which is equivalent to 1990s ...... Or I should say 1980s and 1990s. This is an interesting stage.
