I have read several books on Google and the vast majority of them focus on the technology and people behind Google. Being a finance professional I was curious if anyone has run across books or articles that detail the finance side of their business. Such as back-office accounting and business case analysis.
I know where your coming from, whats there money model, how does everything appear to be "free". Answer is I dont know. They admitted buying Youtube with non-standard business practices.. so i dont think theres a shelf marked "non-standard-business practices" in the local bookshop -yet, unless google is currently writing it. Might want to try the "dot com boom" section... Pierce
