• Does Google's strategy fit with the industry's success factors?
• Does Google have a sustainable competitive advantage? Based on:
• VRIN analysis of key resources and capabilities (properly argued, not just a table)
• Does Google's innovation and international strategy fit its strategic needs?
• These are your conclusions, there is no need
for a separate conclusion section

industry and your report structure
