Technological
As competitors continue to develop new technology, that poses the threat to Google of losing customers to other businesses. With the demand of technological rate of diffusion, that can become expensive for companies like google, as they are almost pressured to keep up with the rest of their competitors. However, technology has improved the value-chain structure by eliminating errors, and will continue to do that, which will present an opportunity to Google. Alongside that, technology has also offered a quicker way to roll out product offerings, and as technology continues to advance, it presents a good opportunity as well.
Ecological
Google is working on becoming a more environmentally safe company, as they have announced initiatives to increase their renewable energies, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing energy efficiency of their buildings which presents opportunities for Google to improve in that aspect. Google and it's subsidiaries aim to be carbon free by 2030. If this happens, other companies should follow in those footsteps.
Political
In the Meta, most political factors involving technology often times find resolution, mostly due to wage legislation, taxation laws and Anti-Trust Laws. Thus, those who aim to keep corporations regulated, most politicians seek to demonopolioze companies to prevent bigger companies from expanding past govermental powers. In addition, with all else considered, creating wage legislation and taxation laws costs every company money, which presents a threat.
Social
In the social aspect, leisure activities is definitely the leading factor which makes Google successful, as their entire company is not at all a necessity to citizens. However, with the expected economic growth in the economy, this presents a strong opportunity for (GOGL) to be successful in the upcoming years, as well as the Culture and Demographics surrounding the company. With the increasing technology of the business world, it will continue to have it's moments of glory and downfall through the next era of evolution.

External Factor Evaluation Google Products
Purpose: To analyze external factors that might present threats or opportunities to Google LLC. in their future endeavors. SUMMARY OF VARIABLES AND FACTORS
Economic
Prior to the pandemic, inflation has been a prominent factor throughout the US. Although, inflation is expected to simmer down in due time, one can expect it to be a threat within the next five years. With increasing labor costs, and increasing exchange rates, both of these issues can be apparent to Google LLC. to be successful in upcoming years. Moreover, with the economy anticipated to recover, that also presents Google LLC. with a growth opportunity. Most of their business comes from Ad revenue and Tec products, so assuming the business cycle stage improves, there is a great opportunity for (GOGL) to increase profits.

Product Quality
In comparison to the quality of the products, Google ranked very closely to Microsoft, and had an overall rating of a 3.6/5. As a result, it's the not the best, yet again it is suffiicient if their returns on their products are achieving high yeilds. Therefore, if Google were to utilize this forward momentum and generate more appeal to their products, they have the best chance to remain as a top forefront in their industry across the board.
Debt to Equity Ratio
In most instances, a lower debt to equity ratio is better, as it lowers the risk of the overall business. Moreover, in the Tec industry, it takes research and development investments to create and shape the market as it grows. As a fact, there are more risks involved than in the average service industry. However, Google has done a tremendous job on keeping their debt to equity ratio consistent over the years, with it being stagnant roughly right under 2.0, whereas its competitors have not been consistent in this category.

Employee Satisfaction Rating
One of the most important factors when gathering the broadscope of a company is to measure how difficult it is to work in that particular industry. In this specific area, Google LLC. ranks as one of the best of all four companies, which gives them area to improve in this aspect. Complaints with Google employees seem to come from the fact that they claim the business sometimes gets more concerned with corporate gains rather than the privacy of its customers and the prevention of discrimination of
Net Promoter Score Net Promoter Score measures customer satisfaction and the likelihood that they would recommend a specific business to other people. While Google ranked amongst the highest in this aspect, it is not necessarily a red flag as their rating came back positive.
EBITDA Along with almost every other financial metric used, Google ranked highest out of its competitors in EBITDA. This metric is important to disguise from net income, that Google is maintaining earnings appropriately before taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
0.15 1.00
Net Income
Reluctantly for GOGL, their Net Income has stayed positive in almost every year over the past 10 years. However, there have been declines in the Net Income that Google managed to retain, as of last year Google realized steady growth in Net Income (YOY). Although they have maintained better than their competitors, Google by each category, can still aim for improvement in other areas more, but less defiecient than it's competitors.
Earnings Per Share We can assume that every business was impacted by Covid-19, but Google adapted quickly, as the majority of these businesses rely on in-person stays and people being physically present. But, Google ranks highest in the Earnings Per Share category, as it shows that Google sustained its profitability the best, as opposed to its competitors over a long period of time.

A company can be as strong, in terms of success, as long as they are capable in creating opportunities which lead to innovation and reimagination towards a better tomorrow. In the same notion, Google has proven to be impactful as well as efficitive in societal contribution. However, where there is strength, there is also weakness. For example, some of the figures above such as advertising; Google appears to have an over-dependence on Ad Revenues and dropping Ad rates. Lastly, another weakness to be identified is security and censorship concerns. References: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GOOG/alphabet/financial-ratios
