Jerry Yang's |
His problems are also similar. Both Jobs and Yang are both considered to inhibit the steps taken firm. The so-called do not agree with the acquisition bid of U.S. $ 47.6 billion (USD 430 billion) that Microsoft filed in 2008.
Yahoo! does take strength to be able to compete with Google. In addition, Microsoft also has not been Successful with Google's search engine founded rival, Bing, MSN, and Windows Live. So if they come together is very likely to surpass Google as the power of synergy Yahoo!-Microsoft.
But the offer has now passed and Yahoo! should strive to pursue his own glory. In this effort a number of officials had been a victim because Yahoo! did not succeed in his mission. One of the fired is Carol Bartz, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Yahoo! in September last year. Though new to Yahoo! Carol on January 13, 2009 to replace Yang as CEO and a mission to strengthen after Yahoo! rejected Microsoft's acquisition offer.
Now turn to the ones that chose to leave. Who founded Yahoo! in 1995 with David Filo. The company became a phenomenal because it provides a free email service and search page (search engines). But when Google started to go in 1997 could no longer dominate the Yahoo! search engine on the internet service. Lately Google is superior. At least visible also from the AC Nielsen research showing that as of January 2010 Google has as many as 8.1 billion unique visitors, while Yahoo! only half, at 4.1 billion.
Interestingly, the departure of the capital market with a positive welcome. Yahoo! shares rose 3.4% in the closing session on Tuesday (January 17, 2012), the day when the retreat.
Not yet clear what will be done Yang. "It's time for me to pursue other opportunities outside of Yahoo!," said Yang through a written statement.
Is Jerry Yang will soon have a fate like Steve Jobs who was fired from Apple, but then returned to the company he founded to "save" the company? Only time will tell. Jobs is himself regarded as a hero. "Steve is my hero. He not only gave me a lot of personal advice and encouragement, he also shows us how innovation can transform our lives," jerry said." 4.5
