When she was hired I asked (and what I imagined she probably would've asked), what is Yahoo!'s business model, how much fierce is the compeition, and how willing it is to seek other markets (that can serve as low hanging fruit). I see tech companies business models (very broadly) as being one of a few kinds: - serving masses and revenue-through-ads (the social media model) - serving masses and selling a product - serving big businesses it looks like Yahoo! was in the first category at that time and there was already market monopoly by Google, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. So continuing what they were doing already but better meant taking those companies head on, and that was an uphill battle. So I was of the opinion that the best way forward IMO would be to seek new markets and low hanging fruit, maybe explore creating a product, maybe get into hardware, maybe serve big businesses. Over the years I never heard Yahoo! do something radical, or go into a new direction, or even seek some safe investment. I might not be fully-informed though, but if that's really the case then the CEO is clearly to be blamed for it. So TBH I'm not surprised Yahoo! is still not doing well and has to be sold. Looking for corrections/more-info/thoughts in response to my comment. Thanks!
