Google has separated some of its time for only innovation techniques. As a motivation technique (usually called Innovation Time Off), in that technique all Google engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of their work time (one day per week) on projects that creates a special interest for them.
Some of Google's newer services innovated, such as Gmail, Google News, Orkut, and AdSense originated from this one day per week work of engineers.
In a talk at Stanford University, Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience, stated that her analysis showed that 50% of the new product launches originated from the 20% time.
Google is an American public corporation, which is earning its most revenue from advertising (AdWords), Internet search (search engine), e-mail (G-mail), online mapping (Google maps), office productivity (Google Applications), social networking site (Orkut), and video sharing (YouTube).
