Answer:

hello your question is incomplete here is the complete question

Do you think the (Google's) reorganization is beneficial for Alphabet’s “moonshots,” now housed in their own business unit with profit-and-loss responsibility?

 answer : yes

Explanation:

Google reorganization is beneficial for Alphabet's "moonshots" because each organizational unit in the reorganization is going to have their own CEO and operate individually and this is going to help them be more proactive and this will make it easier for the Group chief executive. and also the diversification of business into biotech and science by the units will be beneficial as well.

Capital allocation and useage will be easier and the worth of Google will be higher than its current value. therefore Alphabets will benefit economically also from such reorganization by Google.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alphabet's reorganization is beneficial for Google, but not for its related businesses, specially its moonshots.

Explanation:

Moonshots are ambitious projects that are really uncertain, that is why there are called that way, because it they are successful then they are a total and complete grand slam. The problem is that companies understand that there chances of success are really low.  

In Alphabet's case, only Google is profitable, and this restructuring was made to be able to track the financial performance of each division, and that is a real problem for projects that do not generate cash, e.g. moonshots and about every other Alphabet's division.

This wasn't a fair distribution because Google kept all the profitable units (advertising, YT, Earth, Drive) and it left all the question marks to Alphabet. When the divisions need to report their profits, Google will keep shining while the rest wouldn't.

The benefits for the moonshots and other related divisions is that theoretically they will be more autonomous, and not directly depend on Google's supervision. The stakes have increased, and with greater autonomy comes greater responsibility and accountability.
