Groupon tumult turns up the pressure on Mason
- jhuckestein 14y agoThis is a Reuters release, but could it be that a story like this is planted by some interest group? This is something I've always wondered. Could someone with experience in public company politics shed some light on this?
- jacques_chester 14y agoOr maybe it's just what it looks like? You don't need a conspiracy to question whether a first-time CEO is suitable for a multi-billion company. Sometimes they are! In the software and technology world, particularly. But it's still worth asking. Personally, that Mason is being pilloried and Zuckerberg praised is just a reflection of the current state of play of their companies. It might be that Mason is a wonderful CEO. But the forcing function for Groupon is that they have a model which cannot live up to the hype.
