Sergey Brin and Larry Page drooped out of their Ph.D. in 1998 to help their friend pursue his objectives of establishing Google enterprise. While working at the firm, they discovered a marketing strategy that would help the company revolutionalize its operations (Hartley, 2011) which helped Google make a long way since 1998 during inception. Google gave its employees stock options which would prevent them from moving to their competitors who offered better pay.

As such, employees could now buy certain shares at a prescribed price before the company went public in 2004.
Yes, it was ethical for Google to poach talent from various organizations rather than use its innovation to carry out a successful launch. Any company has a right to poach for talents from their competitors more so during the growth stages of a company. Google hired many employees since the company did not have the time to waste while waiting for the market to release new educated employees who would be available for hire. As such, if Google would have waited for any longer, it would have inhibited the expansion process hence delay the growth of the organization.
Currently, the accomplishments of Google strategies are evident, and it is, therefore, critical to note that the company took the right decisions. Competitors such as Microsoft suffered from the poaches due to high demand in the job market. However, according to Harper, Castrucci, Bharthapudi, & Sellers (2015), an organization must keep its employees by doing its best which would help the workforce remain faithful to the enterprise. Due to the gradual growth in various industries, poaching might continue as employees seek better opportunities while employers look for better talents.
