Компания Google придумала интересную акцию для сотрудников нового подразделения: каждому из них необходимо было принести по 6 книг, которые оказали на них наибольшее влияние. Так в новой секретной дизайнерской лаборатории Google сформировалась своя неплохая библиотека!
В целом, предпочтения у сотрудников разные – среди принесенных книг есть и литература по искусству, экологии, дизайну, менеджменту, и произведения для детей, и даже кулинарные книги. Тем не менее, в Google не поленились составить список книг своей корпоративной библиотеки, а также поделиться с нами 35-ю самыми востребованными и полезными из них.
Отметим, что практически все книги из списка доступны на amazon.com. Также список книг от Google приведен в оригинале – большинство из них не переведены на украинский или русский.
