1. To keep their funding the Google founders had to choose someone as CEO and designate themselves with specific roles or titles for themselves. How important do you think defined roles are in Google or for that matter in educational institutions? Why?

I think one of business role that ( to understand the business, you have to  start from down to up )  which Google Founders understood. I think they wanted to understand how business going from the base and choosing good CEO to lead this small ship among giant technology companies till to be in safe.

Brin was president and chairman of the board. Page was CEO they hired Kordestani to handle the business end of Google and bring credibility to the company (pg 75).  Finally they hired Schmidt to be the CEO.  I think overall titles are important in a business whether it be Google or an educational institution.  Along with most titles are the socially accepted responsibilities that come along with them.  People want a point person, they want to know who to talk to about a particular issue.  Again bringing credibility and trust to all people involved.

I think titles are important, but only if the situation you are in requires it. For example, as a teacher in a normal upper grade school setting you would always be the same teacher, for example a math teacher, every day. The title would never change unless you changed jobs. If you were working somewhere else, like in a lower grade level, you would just be a teacher instead of having a designation in a specific subject area. K-5, at least where I went to school had one teacher that  thought all the subjects to their class.
