What is Yahoo anyway? Jack Kapica, Globe and Mail (Feb 8)
Yahoo changed from a tech company to a big business. This requires different qualities from its executives, and, as Jack Kapica sees it (likely correctly) co-founder and "engineering doctoral dropout" Jerry Yang isn't up to the demands of being CEO.
"It no longer really matters what Yang thinks about the Internet, or the future of digital communications. The moment his shareholders and board lose faith in his ability to run a multibillion-dollar profit-maker, he doesn’t stand a chance. For my money, he’s reached that point. "
The internet has changed - it's big business now.
