Microsoft will continue to offer to buy Yahoo

Many researchers believe that next year Microsoft will once again propose to be merged with Yahoo by simply 'the software giant' is in need of a 'big motivation' to promote the development of the ministry. online service division of this company.

What future?

The company's annual shareholders' meeting has finally passed 'smoothly'. CEO Jerry Yang received huge support from its shareholders. But this is also the time when people are most concerned about Yahoo's future as well as its re-elected leadership.

CEO Yang had to make every effort to appease shareholders, analysts and media by announcing ' a bright future for Yahoo' thanks to the launch of a complete web platform. all new and 'don't touch with anyone '.

Chairman of the Board of Directors Roy Bostock also constantly voiced his search for the CEO Yang: ' Yahoo pledged to continue to implement all the strategies set out to continue building and developing more powerful firms. half. It can be said that Yahoo has taken very long steps in implementing the strategies set out and has worked really effectively during the last difficult period . '

Eric Jackson - Ironfire Capital executive chairman and owner of 3.2 million Yahoo shares - shows a very different view. ' If Yahoo really wants to improve performance and increase stock value, some fundamental changes need to be made. First, Yahoo needs to cut staff, focus more on key businesses and eliminate unprofitable businesses. I think that Yahoo itself has made a lot of mistakes in the past. '

Ironfire Capital executive chairman advised Yahoo to re-read the November 2006 review by Brad Garlinghouse - Yahoo's senior vice president for communications, community and foreign affairs. Among them is the paragraph: ' I have heard a lot of comments about Yahoo's business strategy. It is an investment strategy with a large spread. It can be said that Yahoo aspires to invest in every opportunity it finds in the Internet world. Consequently, Yahoo was unable to choose and focus on investing in any major business . '

' That's what two years ago. But unfortunately, Yahoo is stabbing it , "Mr. Jackson said. ' Yahoo is too ambitious to embrace everything. Without saying anything, all of Garlinghouse's criticisms are still valid. The challenge ahead of Yahoo is huge, especially when it has a new leadership . '

Jackson, Garlinghouse and billionaire Carl Icahn all thought that merging with Microsoft was an opportunity for Yahoo to regain 'glory' in the days before the 'dot-com crisis' - a time when value Yahoo shares surpassed the level of 80-100 USD. However, these people were unable to find enough allies needed to support them in the strategy of overthrowing Jerry Yang and Yahoo's leadership. Only Carl Icahn and his two partners are gaining leadership positions.

Will Microsoft come back?

Jackson commented that it is likely that Yahoo's leadership is also considering a possible merger of Microsoft 'software giant'. Can say Microsoft overestimated Yahoo. Evidence is the proposed purchase price that the company has offered over the past time. Obviously this is a merger contract that is very beneficial for not only Yahoo but all its shareholders. Yahoo should have accepted Microsoft's offer. But I am not surprised that Yahoo said the refusal . I do not think everything is coming to an end. Microsoft will come back '.

' Why? Very simply because Microsoft is still very weak in the field of providing online services business. No need to say much, just look at the most recent statistics, anyone can realize this fact. Strictly speaking, Microsoft is far behind its competitors in this respect. The business of the software business for PC software by Microsoft itself has also shown signs of going down. If Yahoo, Microsoft is fully capable of solving all these problems , 'Jackson said.

In fact, Microsoft has made great efforts to go on its own feet and entice talents over the past decade. ' However, Microsoft still cannot catch up with rival Google '.

But even then, 2009 will certainly be an important year for Jerry Yang, Roy Bostock, and Executive Chairman Sue Decker and colleagues. Their goal is how to promote the development of products and services, bring in higher profits and enhance stock value.
