Yahoo went bad because a business person was put in charge? From my point of view I would say that is generally the rule rather the exception. Particularly for those firms wanting to go public. I'm going to defer to mixmax's quip about putting a gardner in charge of a gardening firm's finances [1] as the alternative. You can't argue Jobs or Schmidt are not business people. Although Schmidt could be used to either refute or backup your point depending on how you feel about Google these days.
