In this section you will hear ONE interview. The interview will be divided into TWO parts. At the end of each part, five questions will be asked about what was said. Both the interview and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY. After each question there will be a ten-second pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D, and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.
You have THIRTY seconds to preview the questions.
(a thirty-second interval)
Now listen to Part One of the interview.
A: Good morning, Eric. Nice to have you back.
B: Good morning.
A: Last time, we talked about the "twenty percent time" and the creativity of engineers at Google. How do you harness that innovation though? What if you have two equally bright people working on sort of the same thing and they both come to you, I mean how do you ...
B: Well, in fact that happened and we often will find ourselves with two scenarios: we’ll let them proceed and find out which one really works, because often small demonstration projects don’t really scale. They have defects that aren’t immediately apparent. You know it’s a great idea but you didn’t get the architecture right. Another thing that we’ll do is we’ll ask people to merge and we’ll say, "Can you guys just get along and try to work together because you’ll never get enough people unless you put your forces together to try to solve this new interesting problem?" That often works very well.
A: One of the things you have said is that innovation is going to be key to starting this economic recovery going.
B: I agree with that.
A: How’s that going to work?
B: Well, innovation is how America works. The characteristic of America that is different from other countries is that we have more jobs lost and more jobs created per year than anybody else. Literally the creative destruction, this constant process of layoffs and new jobs and new companies and so forth, is key to America’s competitiveness. We don’t want to lose that. We don’t want the government to make it harder, we want it to make it easier. We want a whole generation of new companies to be formed out of the crucible of this very, very tough recession. It’s interesting that many, many of the brands that we use came in tough times. We forget that innovation occurs everywhere and often when things are tough, you actually do better because you have few resources so you are required to focus even harder on the excellent thing that you are trying to get done.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
