Commercial Wrongs
Google, the Company that has at its goal is the organization of information worldwide, also selected as its official motto the slogan “don’t be evil.” In this way, the internet giant declares that the foremost principle guiding its policies and conduct is avoiding commercial wrongs. For example, Google is committed to objectivity in the search engine, to the benefit of users. The company’s management declares that it avoids the manipulation of search results for inappropriate reasons.
Thus, for example, Google’s direct competitors also get high rankings in the search engines, for the relevant search terms. This “don’t be evil” commitment, even if it has no contractual effect, establishes Google’s relations of trust with its services’ users and with its business partners. Moreover, this slogan clarifies Google’s intention to compete with other players under conditions of fairness and mutual respect. Not every industry is characterized by the same “sterility” as the IT field.
Not every market leader has a business motto like Google’s.
