Successful companies demonstrate significant adherence to their core business values
which have a large contribution behind their towering success. In n argumentative way, this
essay aims to substantiate how and to what extent big organizations follow their core values. The
researcher would explore and highlight various evidences in favor of the arguments produced in
the essay, regarding the two companies Amazon and Google. The employee policy of Google is
highly reputed and various researchers speak of their policy as the strongest foundation behind
their global business. In a same way, Amazon’s value chain, incorporating their providers and
clients with business value generation, has been one of the big reasons beyond their global
domination on the ecommerce business (Corfield and Paton 2016). The idea of business integrity
takes shape in the way Google handles their employees and Amazon connects with their
providers and client base. Providing evidence of the business policies and business procedures,
this essay would evaluate up to what extent the two abovementioned organizations are
aligning to their core business values in order to achieve success in business.

company abides by the core values in their major business activities. Google has a unique
business culture that is reflected in the way they treat their employees (Al Saifi 2015). Google

Google representative Larry Page advanced identify that all the organisation is continuing to
evolve with everyday and every hour, the mission statement of the organisation remains the
same. Google is always trying to capitalise on their success in the search engine business by
stocking cleans in the developing markets with incorporation of Robotics, Biotech as well as
Other industries (Williams, Perillo and Brown 2015). The selection of Industries is done in such
a manner that they are able to directly benefit the quality of life issues of people. The mission
statement of Google really highlights that their business should have the maximum positive
impact on the world and by doing this they actually e undertaking the best Strategies for
benefiting people.
Google shared the vision of organizing global information to make it accessible universally and
make information as much useful as it can be (Conger, Peterson and Wolin 2017).
Most importantly, it should be noted that because of of the difference in vision towards their
stakeholders as well as towards their customers, Google had to separate their ties with Parent
company, Alphabet.
Google has specified in the organisational mission that they would be maintaining through
flexibility in order to address the model goals alongside the business goals of the organisation. In
fact, the organisation still maintains their standard of flexibility by addressing and understanding
the needs of the employees and providing them with flexible work schedule and worked on their
terms so that they are able to deliver maximum creativity along with greater level of productivity
(Onyusheva and Seenalasataporn 2018). The organisation allows employees to explore and
identify how they like to work for the organisation and gives the maximum freedom regarding
their approach to work.

The other two aspects that help us to realise that Google has been providing maximum freedom
for ensuring creativity in work is that the organisation has actually 30 doubt maximum fun parts
of working in technology and went on to the extent of amplifying them to the maximum level.
The organisation delivers people maximum chance of problem solving by providing them the
most necessary resource that they should have, information. The organisation is quite evident
with recreations and is always generous regarding employee compensation and basic perks.
These are objective propositions that increase happiness and content of employees and critics
like Arnie Gordon believe that these two have a direct relationship with productivity of
organizations (S Eric Anderson and Brad Jamison 2015). The people and their expertise level in
Google are also to be considered. Speaking with some interns at Google, it has been revealed that
in the Google launches, people speak about food, massage as well as slides and in doing so they
create the most innovative ideas as well as their intense process of hiring candidates. One of the
biggest business ideal of Google is sharing of values across organisation and that is fasted across
all work departments of Google. This has been achieved by maintaining a strong organisational
culture where management as well as departmental team events feet each other with equal
respect as they receive. That is why, factors like workplace stress do not affect the employees
critically.
The two primary ideals of the business Vision and Mission of Amazon have also been
maintained by the organisation. Jeff Bezos has always been repeated for adhering to the Six
Sigma Management process and undertaking a data driven approach of decision making. The
organisation has been gentrifying one sector after another as they have been entering respectively
new business sectors.

Unlike Apple, Microsoft or Google, Amazon has not fixed any strictly design ecosystem with
interlocking apps as well as services. Since inception, Amazon head Jeff bezos emphasizes on
development platforms that can serve their own customers in the best possible way (Al Saifi
2015). The employees are empowered in such a way so that they can keep the customers Royal,
upright and until they get offer of a better product from some other agent. Density of continuous
evolution has come at the expense of constant experimenting in relevant areas which were then
transformed into franchises. This creates an innovative as well as energetic workplace
environment in Amazon. However, Amazon had always specified that they want to stay first in
terms of customer loyalty and they have achieved that. Nevertheless in various Markets and
submarkets of Amazon, complaint has come regarding the inhuman atmosphere of work of the
lowest order of employees (Williams, Perillo and Brown 2015). This is because, the
organizational policy and mission statement of Amazon highlights that they will always
emphasize on strong stakeholder Management which means that they will look after the working
conditions and compensation standards of employees also.
Other tasks
Currently I am in the phase where I have decided the two organisations I am going to work with.
I have selected not only the organisations that have the most prolific mission and vision
statement and organisational goals, but also an experience of working in the mainstream
corporate sector. I am also emphasizing on the fact that the the organisational goals and
reputation built on corporate missions of the organisations should be great. On that basis I have
come across the two companies come on Google and Amazon which I found to be deliberately
sticking on their business ideas since they were penetrating into their respective corporate
sectors. The customer loyalty of Amazon and employee empowerment of Google is examples of

the biggest organisational goals that these organisations have been able to maintain and fulfilled
till date. Analysis of these aspects, I decided to do my project of writing the essay on these two
companies.
The personal development objective ING quotes of doing this as a way to enhance my research
and paraphrasing skills along with developing my academic presentation skills also. Another
important incorporation of my personal development plan was to brush up my background
research skills also. This has been possible because of doing extensive study with multiple
organisations. Nevertheless, I had other personal development goals like developing my capacity
of project management, working with peers and collecting research data. In this regard I should
specify that my collaborative working skills were low and it is project provided me great
opportunity of enhancing the skill.
Organising my ideas was the most interesting part for me in the course of this project. In this
regard, I should specify that I got to learn many dressing facts about the two organisations and
wanted to incorporate almost all of them in the course of my essay. However, repeated
proofreading of the organisational research I did against the two companies help me to realise
how I should compose my essay so as to reflect the business ideas of the organisations on one
hand and how they have maintained this business ideas in the course of becoming two of the
biggest Global organisations.
Achieving the second learning outcome which is the listening task requiring notes making with
confidence was a very difficult affair for me. Considering the fact that my active listening skills
are not perfect. That is why I tend to me about important information conveyed to students in
classes. This from take me to put in next referred to clarify and cross check with my fears in

order to ensure that I have taken down all relevant information conveyed in the class so that I
should not miss out any important point while presenting my essay.
Another most important face was development of my arguments for the essay. In the first place,
argument development seemed difficult since I had not accumulated the entire set of research
data based on empirical findings. However after that I can you realise how to link up my
personal results data with empirical findings.
