MOUNTAIN VIEW (California): Google Inc projected in 2010 it would get more than 35% of its 2013 revenue from outside its flagship search operation. It is anticipating three non-search businesses, including commerce, would generate more than US$5bil (RM15bil) each, according to internal company documents filed in court.
The documents provide a rare insight into Google’s mindset and reflect the Internet company’s ambitious plans to expand into new markets, underscoring the challenges it has faced in its efforts to break its reliance on its search business.
