Open Culture – Sergey Brin and Larry Page

Open Culture is a concept according to which knowledge should be spread freely.  It enriching already existing works on the basis of sharing and collaboration, without being restricted by rules linked to the legal protection of intellectual property.  The consequence is that all citizens should have equal access to information in a context of globalization.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page are known as the person who established a very popular and extremely important search engine called Google. In this globalization era, it is important and crucial for people to have a friendly and easy search engine in order for us to get and excess the information that we required. That is where Google came and play its role because Google are the only search engine that so easy to use and it’s so convenient as if you are one click away from the information that you want. Sergey Brin and Larry Page manage and success to do so because they are open minded,especially to new idea and also suggestions.

They believe that when a person talk, we don’t look and judge the person who talked,but we looked and judge what they talked. By doing so, they manage to gain lots of idea and that surely can improve and also give a positive impact to their company. Besides that, they also apply this creative and unique rules in their company where all the employees in their company can speak and provide idea directly to them either using direct email or face to face. What's special about this rules are, everybody in that company can provide ideas regardless their position in that company. This rule shows that both of them are so open minded in doing business. Next, another character in both of them that show how open minded there are is when Google allow its engineers to spend 20% of their work week on projects that interest them, Google is able to tap into the many talents of its employees by doing so. The reasons why their area so open minded is because they believe that there a lot of room for improvement, there’s no inherent ceiling we’re hitting up on.

The conclusion is Sergey Brin and Larry Page reflect an extremely important attitude or traits called open culture. For me, that was the reasons why both of them gain lots of success until today and it will be good and useful for us to apply the same things as they do in our life.
