rapidly gained momentum in the market by defeating long dominant Symbian
OS and recently risen iOS.

7. S.W.O.T. Analysis of Google
STRENGTH
The simple look and feel of Google search engine which every single user can
access and gain useful information is the major strength of Google. The speed of
the search engine is amazing and can gain any information within no time. Google
has the provision to integrate with various languages and its localized searching is
added features compared to other search engines. The information is well
organized.

WEAKNESS
As the information over the internet is increasing at an unprecedented rate, its
getting increasingly difficult for Google to organize information. Its becoming
really difficult to differentiate between good content, average content and bad
content as a search engine can’t check for credibility of all the information.
Google is just a search engine and it maintains its information in a organized
manner and provide it to the user. Thus it can be manipulated.

OPPORTUNITIES.
With emerging trends of technology and increase in internet users, a
revolution has been created in the 21st century for the common man to quest for
information and knowledge. “Adwords” which is pay per click program offered
by Google and “Adsense” a program in which the Website publishers earn a
portion of the advertising revenue for placing Google sponsored links on their site
are major revenue generation programs and customer attraction programs
respectively.

THREATS.
It faces competition from other search engines like Yahoo, Bing etc. Baidu and
Yandex in China and Russia are the market winners in that environment. These
can also be emerging threats to Google. Changing user preferences has resulted in
expectation of more quality results, which Yahoo focuses as its major agenda.
Most important is that Google should not lose its focus with competitors like
Facebook and yahoo.

The Indian connection
As India emerging as a technologically savvy nation, it has become a hotspot
for many IT companies to recruit talented people from all over India. Many IT
companies in response to the talent available at hand , have now started setting
up their offices in India.
Many Indian origin companies are doing good in the international market.
Now, Google has also setup their offices in Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai and
Bangalore and are actively recruiting young talents in various fields be it IT,
sales, etc. and is providing localized services to Indian people and is making its
presence felt in the Indian sub-continent.

What it means to me to work in this Organization
In my point of view, I find this organization, as an idea, to work for the better
environment, not for me only but for the others also, be it people working in
the organization and or the outside community.
As for the organization, running to have a profit is not the motive of the
company.
To build a sustainable future to provide upcoming generation with positive
morality while increasing their effectiveness so that the social-revolution
never ends.
I being a tech savvy person , I feel myself attracted to this particular
organization as a base, for increasing my global knowledge and awareness
while being working hard and going up on the line and gain dynamism
through wisdom.
Having a lateral way of thinking and or perception of things.
