    "Google has found that such a structure does not facilitate a high level of productivity and innovation, and has begun to formalize itself into a more rigid version of itself."

    Hi, would it be possible to give a reference on the above, I've seen videos about Google's working culture and it amazes me that they're thinking about changing it.

    Hi PM Hut,

    It's been covered pretty extensively over the blogosphere for the last 6 months to a year. I don't have any specific examples at hand, but I know I've seen this discussed on a place like Valleywag.

    Don't discount Valleywag out of hand! They may have a reputation for being ... different, but they also put up alot of good, in-depth, thought-provoking articles that no-one else cares about (because they won't fit in with their BREAKING NEWS wannabe niche, or the sources are forced to remain anonymous) .

    I would suggest poking around on Valleywag and ReadWrite/Web, maybe even The Inquisitr.

    Hope that helps.
