What is Google Doodle

Handbook of Research on Examining Cultural Policies Through Digital Communication
Doodles are actually designs of the Google search web page. They are themes designed for the Google search engine. What is important for us is that Doodles are planned so they feature each society’s local factors. In this way, Doodles are able to act locally by thinking globally. In the perspective of our work it signifies a glocal cultural policy and this policy triggers a construction of memory at the same time.

Abstract
Glocalization, the process of global companies developing a policy regarding local factors, is not an issue exclusively reserved to economics, international trade, or business management. It is, at the same time, closely related to culture and culture policies. The evaluation of local factors at a global scale is possible by discovering the local's cultural world above all, then turning it into a policy with successful public relations. This process is fundamentally globalization's way of producing memory for local factors. In this context, glocalization, with one of its aspects, is the building of a memory constituted of selected data for local factors. In this sense, the Google Doodle is an appropriate example. Google, which is a global company, produces a Google design proper to each country regarding its cultural factors. This study will analyse the glocal cultural policy of a global company through the example of the Google Doodle.
