Case Study
on
Guidelines
Google’s motto is ‘do not be evil’. They believe these words
relate to the way they serve their users.
Their code message is that Google strives towards the highest
possible standards of ethical behaviour.
SERVING THEIR USERS
They have flourished by serving the interests of their users. Their
goal is to build
products that organize the world’s information and make it available
to their
users.
Usefulness: products and services to be user friendly and useful to
their
customers.
Honesty: they want clear and truthful communication with their
customers.

Responsiveness: they want to be responsive to the user
feedback about
their and services.
Action oriented: they want their product and services to their
customers to

appropriate action to make it useful
RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER AMONG
EMPLOYEES
They create an ambience in which employee can reach to his
full, potential as follows:
Employment provides equal opportunity to all employees,
without any discrimination.
Harassment and discrimination is totally absent from the firm.
Drugs and alcohol use is not accepted in the firm at all.
Carrying of weapons and any type of violence by the
employees is
strictly not accepted.
AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT OF
INTEREST
Avoidance of conflict of interest is achieved by the following
methods:
Openness and transparency is important to work ethics.
Personnel investment in the firm’s equity is done only after the
approval of the board of directors.
Gifts and entertainments are allowed to be accepted as long as
these are of low value and do not impact on the firm’s decisions with
regard to those offerings .
PRESERVING CONFIDENTIALITY
The confidential information could be any of the following:
Financial information, product information and user
information, the information can be given in select cases on a
need to know basis only.
Trademarks, logos and copyrights. The name of Google
products and services and the logos connected to these are the
firm’s intellectual property and unauthorized use could damage
their image.
PRESERVING CONFIDENTIALITY
Google partners should not give or receive any confidential
information unless they have cleared with the firm’s legal
department.
Google wants to give the same respect to competitive
information as they expect their competitors would give theirs.
Google does not want its employees to even discuss
confidential information on the net or anywhere else, unless the
person has been specially authorize to do.
BOOKS AND RECORD-KEEPING
Google believes in accuracy in reporting the financial analysis of the firm.
Every member of the Google team has the responsibility of seeing that the
books are maintained accurately. No one should ever try to influence the
auditing of Google’s financial accounts.
The employees are supposed to co operate with accounting and
financial
teams; auditors to ensure that the book are accurately maintained.
The employees must report any irregularities if they observe them,
even the small problems when they are not as per the firm’s
reporting of Financial and Accounting Concerns Policy.
GOOGLE ASSETS
It is expected that the employees will take care to conserve the
firm’s assets and equipment. They are provided with all the required
tools for the job they perform.
The firm’s computers, telephones and other communication
equipments are crucial aspects of the firm’s property and these must
be looked after well.
While buying from third parties the employees are to get the best
bargains of the firm. All contracts must be vetted by the firm’s legal
department and signed by only the authorized signatories.
CODE OF CONDUCT
The firm believes that it is not possible to be fully
comprehensive with regard to the code of conduct:
they want the employees to refer to the legal
department in case of any doubts in any matter of
ethics.
LAWS
The firm takes the responsibility of complying with the laws of the land and when
in doubt about the interpretation of any law the employees are to get in touch
with the firm’s legal department.
The firm wants from its employee’s full compliance with the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, export control regulations, antitrust
laws and other trade regulation statutes. In case of accepting gifts,
any item of value would be considered as taking a bribe.
Any violation of antitrust law by the employees would not be
accepted.

governance”
