Introduction Google LCC is a transnational corporation that provides various services and products related to Internet technologies. It offers software, online advertisements, and search. The company was established in the United States in 1998. The Google initial public offering (IPO) occurred in 2004. However, the path to the IPO was not easy. The main goal of this paper is to discuss aspects that had a major impact on the results of Google IPO. Discussion Google was established in the late 1990s characterized by the rise in IPOs. In the 2000s, the number of IOPs decreased by more than 70 percent in comparison to the 1990s.
