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。
雇佣政策,2010年9月 包括谷歌、苹果和英特尔(Intel)在内的六家科技巨头终止了禁止互挖墙脚的协议,进而平息了美国司法部的反垄断调查。美国司法部认为,这些公司签署的协议规定,彼此不得向“削弱竞争”名单中的员工发出工作邀请。这对于颇受欢迎的工程师与科学家的就业前景产生了负面影响。签署该协议的另外三家公司分别是Adobe、财捷(Intuit)和皮克斯(Pixar)。 |
Hiring practices, Sep. 2010 Six tech giants, including Google, Apple and Intel, settled a DOJ antitrust investigation by ending agreements not to poach each other's employees. The agreements by the companies not to make recruiting calls to employees that they had placed on a list "diminished competition," the DOJ said, and had a negative effect on the job prospects of sought-after engineers and scientists. Adobe, Intuit and Pixar were also part of the settlement. |
