2nd Explaination
Of course! Here's a simple explanation for each paragraph along with how to identify the
correct dimension of culture or environment. I’ll break it down for each question (a, b, and c) in
a way that’s easy to understand and apply:
Paragraph a
Question: Which dimension of culture or environment is it about?
Text:
Google has grown into a global entity. Various countries, especially in the European Union (EU),
have scrutinized Google for its business practices, particularly regarding data privacy and anticompetitive behavior.
How to identify it:

It talks about laws, rules, and government action (like data protection and fair
competition).

The keyword here is “scrutinized” by governments, especially in the EU.

This clearly shows legal and political challenges Google faces in other countries.
Answer (in simple words):
This paragraph is about the Legal and Political Environment. It talks about how Google's
business practices are being questioned by governments, especially in the European Union. The
EU has strict laws about protecting people's data and stopping unfair business practices. These
rules affect how Google operates there.
You can also relate it to the cultural idea of “uncertainty avoidance” — EU countries like clear
rules and don’t like risk, so they prefer strict laws to protect consumers.
Paragraph b
Question: Which dimension of culture or environment is it about?
Text:
The company has set goals to increase diversity in its workforce and to create a more inclusive
environment for its employees. Google has faced challenges in this area, particularly regarding
gender and racial diversity, but the company has committed to improving in these areas through
various initiatives and programs.
How to identify it:

It talks about people, gender, race, and inclusion.

These are social topics, showing how a company responds to society’s expectations.

It’s also about company efforts and internal culture.
Answer (in simple words):
This paragraph is about the Sociocultural Environment and Organizational Culture. It shows
how Google is trying to become more diverse and fair to people of different backgrounds. This is
important because society now expects companies to treat everyone equally and support
inclusion. Google is responding to these social values and making changes inside the company
too.
Paragraph c
Question: Which dimension of culture or environment is it about?
Text:
The company has had to make strategic decisions, such as temporarily pulling out of China in
2010 due to censorship and cybersecurity concerns. Google's culture of maintaining a strong
ethical stance plays a role in these decisions, reflecting the company’s values.
How to identify it:

It talks about ethical choices, like leaving a country because of censorship.

Mentions company values and ethics, which shows it’s not just about money.

Also talks about government rules in China, which is a political issue.
Answer (in simple words):
This paragraph is about the Ethical Environment and the Political Environment. Google chose
to leave China because the government wanted to control what people could see online, which
goes against Google’s values. This shows that the company made a decision based on what it
believes is right (ethics), even though it might lose money. It also shows how politics in a
country can affect how a company operates.
