目前,美国联邦贸易委员会中止了对谷歌搜索业务的大规模调查。不过,这可不是谷歌第一次接受反垄断调查,监管部门从来没有放松过对这个巨无霸的注意。它的每一次重要收购、并购、对外合作,乃至董事会成员的构成,都受到了监管部门的严密监控,以确保市场的良性竞争。
苹果-谷歌董事会的复杂关系,2009年8月 FTC调查谷歌与苹果(Apple)之间的关系是否会削弱竞争,之后谷歌首席执行官埃里克•施密特从苹果董事会辞职。FTC反垄断调查对于施密特的辞职是否有影响?对此,两家公司均三缄其口。两个月后,时任基因科技(Genentech)董事长、苹果董事会成员亚瑟•列文森也从谷歌董事会辞职。 |
Apple interlocking boards, Aug. 2009 Then Google chief executive Eric Schmidt resigned from the board of Apple amid an FTC investigation into whether the close ties between the two companies could lessen competition. The companies declined to say whether the FTC's antitrust investigation played a role in Schmidt's resignation. Two months later, Arthur Levinson, then chairman of Genentech and a member of Apple's board, resigned from Google's board. |
