VentureBeat, on Larry Page’s changes at Google. Managers will have to keep emails describing their current work to 60 words or less and top execs are being pulled into daily one-on-one status meetings.

If you really want to understand the difference between Apple and Google, pay attention to these changes. Googlers can quarantine pet projects away from the mothership, leading to oddball efforts (virtual worlds, Wave, self-driving cars.) At Apple, there’s no bandwidth for waste. If there’s an issue that you believe needs your time, you have to make a hell of a case for it. Because of this, Apple makes 28% more revenue per employee (~$1.5 million). Perhaps Page’s focus will shift that ratio.
