4. Write about your experience with today’s case study. What answers did you give to the questions?
Today’s Case study was about Google and it has questioned if Google’s magic will last long. But if you ask me Google is doing great as it coming up with various different ideas some have failed and some have been immensely successful.  The question was about Google’s strategy and I answered it was emergent.
CASE STUDY: HOW LONG WILL GOOGLE’S MAGIC LAST.
1.        Would you describe Google’s strategy as more deliberate or more emergent?
I would like to  say  Google’s  strategy  is  deliberate because they plan  very carefully before implementing an idea into action either that be buying YouTube, using anorid or the latest  Google  glasses.  They  have planned for  all  this, it is a  long term  plan with  intentional acts  in  order  to accomplish a  goal.

2.       What are the advantages of being very experimental
There are various advantages of being very experimental 
·         You come  up  with new ideas
·         You  come up  with innovative  ideas
·         The ideas successes
·         You stand out in the crowd
·         You earn money,  name, fame
3.       What  are the  disadvantages of   being very experimental
·         Idea might fail sometimes
·         Experiment without  market  research doesn’t work
·         Risk of money
·         Risk of losing customers
·         Risk  of losing the reputation in the market
4.       What do you think of their strategy?
Google’s  strategy is deliberate strategy and yes they  are doing well but  if they do  not come up  with  new  ideas every time they might lose their top spot  and also  it wouldn’t be too  long for it to  turn a digital dinosaur.
