Well, it had to happen at some point. Jerry Yang, the head of Yahoo Inc. is stepping down from his role as chief executive.
This is probably a good move. Back in 1999 yahoo used to be a good company. But most recently Yang missed an opportunity to sell Yahoo to Microsoft for 33 dollars a share. Historically though, yang has failed to capitalize on a number of business opportunities. For example he tried to create his own advertising network to complete with google – which failed to pan out. Also, yahoo has thoroughly lost the search engine wars. Google is now by far the preferred method for finding things online – people use yahoo only very rarely.
Best,
James
