Résumé

This case describes Google's decision in November 2009 to purchase mobile advertising start-up AdMob in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $750 million. The objectives of the case are: to highlight the role of acquisitions as integral to Google's growth strategy; to explore the extent to which the perception and pricing of Google as a growth stock necessitates the continual search for new growth opportunities; to determine the drivers of growth in the online advertising market and different segments within that market; and to navigate the considerable challenges of valuing a potentially high-growth start-up both as a stand-alone firm and as an acquisition target.
