????為什么要在最近的管理結(jié)構(gòu)重組中讓后起之秀桑德?tīng)?皮采負(fù)責(zé)大部分谷歌產(chǎn)品？

????我每天只有24個(gè)小時(shí)，因此應(yīng)該盡可能把工作委派出去。我與桑德?tīng)柟彩铝撕荛L(zhǎng)時(shí)間。我不久前開(kāi)始意識(shí)到，由于公司的組織結(jié)構(gòu)所致，每天我都得處理大量產(chǎn)品決策的問(wèn)題，而他可以在其中幫上很大忙，這可以把我解放出來(lái)，我就能做更多事情了。

????曾經(jīng)擔(dān)任福特（Ford）和波音（Boeing）首席執(zhí)行官的艾倫?穆拉利加入谷歌董事會(huì)，出任佩奇的新一任首席管理顧問(wèn)，這種安排出于何種考慮？

????我很激動(dòng)能試著和他共處更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，并真正學(xué)到一些他在高效順暢地運(yùn)營(yíng)公司上的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我覺(jué)得我在這方面做得很棒，但我的意思是，他在這方面更加出色，有一些地方值得我學(xué)習(xí)。

????為何谷歌為移動(dòng)設(shè)備開(kāi)發(fā)的新款電子郵件應(yīng)用Inbox擁有提醒這類(lèi)特色功能，可以讓特定信息在不同時(shí)段自動(dòng)彈出？

????你知道，這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)正在試著做的事情之一，就是真正讓用戶方便地關(guān)注自己要做的事情。日常生活中我們會(huì)用到便利貼（Post-It）。為什么要有這個(gè)？我的意思是，這有點(diǎn)荒謬。我們用它，是因?yàn)檐浖@方面的功能做得還不夠好。實(shí)際上在許多時(shí)候，人們還會(huì)發(fā)郵件給自己。仔細(xì)想想，這真令人抓狂。這真的不是設(shè)計(jì)郵件的本意，隨著時(shí)間的推移，這款產(chǎn)品似乎有些迷失。我覺(jué)得這就是一個(gè)例證，說(shuō)明當(dāng)你在考慮移動(dòng)產(chǎn)品時(shí)，需要解決的可能會(huì)是其他問(wèn)題。

????請(qǐng)你回顧一下谷歌最初的使命：“整合全球信息，使人人皆可訪問(wèn)并從中受益”。

????我覺(jué)得這個(gè)使命的范圍有點(diǎn)狹隘，我們正試著看如何拓展它。不過(guò)我確實(shí)認(rèn)為，我們就這個(gè)問(wèn)題已經(jīng)討論了一段時(shí)間，我們?cè)谧鍪裁匆呀?jīng)很明顯了。

????我們也在試著做一些其他人不太會(huì)嘗試的事情，在一些重要的領(lǐng)域押下重注。我們想真正實(shí)現(xiàn)那些創(chuàng)想，并保證它們是偉大的產(chǎn)品，能夠?qū)τ脩?、?duì)世界產(chǎn)生積極的作用。

????我感覺(jué)我們是在未知的領(lǐng)域探索，因?yàn)槲覀儑L試的事情不太一樣。你知道，我不能去看其他公司然后說(shuō)：“噢，我們也做個(gè)類(lèi)似的東西?！?/p>

????對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，世界作為一個(gè)整體是相當(dāng)精彩的。當(dāng)我看見(jiàn)一些重要事物，比如自動(dòng)駕駛汽車(chē)，又甚至是搜索本身時(shí)，我就會(huì)問(wèn)：我們真的有足夠的資源來(lái)進(jìn)入這些領(lǐng)域嗎？我不覺(jué)得有。我們還需要更多的資源才能改進(jìn)這些產(chǎn)品。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

????On the recent reorganization that put the fast-rising Sundar Pichai in charge of most Google products:

????I only have 24 hours in a day, and any time I can delegate some things, I should. I’ve been working with Sundar for a long time. And I just started to realize that a lot of the stuff that came to me because of our organizational structure around some of the product decision-making that happens day-to-day, he could do a tremendous job of, and that would free me up then to do more things.

????On former Ford and Boeing CEO Alan Mulally, Google’s newest board member, who has become Page’s latest go-to advisor on management issues:

????I’m excited about trying to spend more time with him and really learn the lessons he’s learned about how to run organizations well and efficiently. And I think I do a pretty good job of that, but I mean, he’s like an A+ on that scale, and I think there are things I can learn from him.

????On why Inbox—the company’s new, mobile-first email application—has features like reminders that make certain message pop up at different times:

????You know one of the things they’re trying to do is really make it easier to keep track of tasks. We have Post-It notes. Why do we have those? I mean it’s kind of ridiculous. We have them because the software is not that good yet. A lot of times people actually will send an email to themselves, which is kind of insane when you think about it. It’s not really designed for that, and it gets lost after a while. So I think that’s one of the examples, when you’re really thinking about mobile, the kind of problems you need to solve are different.

????On Google’s original mission to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”:

????I think the mission statement is probably a little bit too narrow and we’re thinking about how to do that a little more broadly. But I do think we’ve been talking about it for a while and I think it’s pretty obvious what we’re doing.

????We’re also trying to do something that not many other people seem to be trying to do, which is to make some big bets on some important areas. To make those things really real and to make sure they’re great products for people and they have real positive impact on people and the world.

????I feel a little bit we’re in uncharted territory. Because I think that what we’re trying to do, you know I can’t just look to another company and say, “Oh, we should do roughly what another company is doing.”

????To me it feels like the world as a whole is very subscale. When I see important things like the self-driving cars or even search itself, and I say is there really enough resource going into that. And I don’t think that there is. It could use a lot more resource to make those things better.
