Balanced Scorecard
Google's internal business processes are surprisingly informal for a group of engineers.

Google's strategy is to deliver high quality content that drives advertising revenue online. This strategy is supported by a high level of innovation, by offering end users (web surfers) high value content. Google believes that content is critical to providing value, which attracts users, and those users can then be sold to advertisers (Google, 2013). The learning and growth objective is important to Google, because of the company's reliance on innovation
