…Larry Page ; Mr. Schmidt is still the company’s executive chairman. The book takes us through the maturation of the company from late-stage startup to well-functioning mega-corporation. In separate chapters, the authors take us through “Culture,” “Strategy,” “Talent,” “Decisions,” “Communications” and “Innovation.” The insights in “Decisions” are particularly valuable because Google’s unique executive model—a three-person committee at the top (Messrs.

…education or training. “Those days are gone,” says Caplice, executive director of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. “Credentials are no longer a ‘one stop and done’ kind of thing, like degrees have historically been. Now it’s a continual, lifelong learning journey.” As part of that lifelong journey, supply chain professionals are earning certifications, getting credentialed, earning degrees, and taking online courses that help them stay current on specific topics and applications.

…salary upgrades. Those managers tenacious enough to grab an MBA lead the pack with triple-figure salaries approaching $144,000 in the median range, followed by grads with other advanced degrees earning $133,375.
