IBM shares are traded on the market since 1970-ies. The flowering of the company came at the end of 1990. But then a sharp increase in its stopped. Over the past ten years the corporation has risen only by 45%, although now the value of its securities is at historical highs.

Google, according to experts, is also growing. For the year of its securities rose by 12% over five years – by 55%, and since trading began in 2004 – by 472%. But there definitely is food for thought. Despite the steady growth of income, in an Internet corporation, obviously, is stagnating. Recently, a successful project the Internet giant can only be considered a mobile operating system Android. Other high-profile projects of the company – a social network Google Buzz, communication project Wave, phones under its own brand Nexus, acquisition and development of social network Badoo – failed miserably. Some experts have doubted the ability of chief executive officer Eric Schmidt to make breakthroughs in the industry. Especially the faded Internet giant looks against the backdrop of an incredibly successful Apple.

Probably this was the reason Schmidt’s resignation. Now Google will lead by its founder Larry Page. Press office of the corporation all beautifully presented: that the previously Paige led by corporate “monster”, which he has created, along with Sergey Brin, but now learn some, the experience has got and decided to try out new roles. One may say, whether the Page to make important decisions on the part of management, but this man is a very resourceful. Google shareholders are hoping that he would be at least something like a Steve Jobs, and stagnation within the corporation will cease.

In 2010, Google reached a profit of 8.5 billion dollars, while in 2009 it amounted to 6.5 billion net profit for the fourth quarter of 2010 rose 29% to 2.54 billion revenue for the period grew by 27 , 2% and reached 8.4 billion dollars.

According to experts, Google almost all of their money earned by selling contextual advertising and revenue diversification is not observed. A development company needs growth.

And yet that Google, which we all know, its negatives and billions in revenues was the result of enormous effort by Eric Schmidt. Shareholders held him with honors: the former CEO gets the post of chairman of the board and a bonus in the form of shares worth 100 million dollars. Such emoluments Schmidt will receive for the first time in the company since 2001. Now a top manager owns 2.9% stake.

Surprisingly, the market took the news of the resignation Schmidt negatively: on the same day Google stock fell on the NASDAQ at 2.38%. Correction was not followed even after the announcement of the results of successful work for the year. Experts attribute this market reaction to fears of investors about the experience of Paige. When he was in 2001, withdrew from managing the company, it employed 200 people. Now those in the Google 24 thousand

Paige is now 38 years old, he says that is full of strength and energy. And despite the fact that Brin, Page and Schmidt on the public say that the debate on the direction of the company they did not have, the sources of the Financial Times in the industry say they still are. Schmidt called the manager of a classic “old school”, which is building a strategy in accordance with the budget and revenue. Paige has always been focused directly on technology and innovation. What to Breen, he plans to resign as president of the corporation and do “special projects”.

In the near future the company intends to focus on developing social and mobile services. Determination of the new guidelines Google is no doubt: in 2011 it added to the ranks of 6200. According to analysts, the largest increase in the state of the company’s history.
