[...] Mike Arrington (and quite possibly his dog) are reporting “From what we hear from multiple sources close to Yahoo, this article may be the final straw – whether the board backs Yang or not, this is just too much negative press for the company to overcome. A fresh start is now a necessity for moving forward. Yang will step down, our sources say. It may be next week or it may be next month, but it’s going to happen.” qmwztlxb3.hdwg div {color:inherit;font:inherit} .hdwg a{font:inherit} .hdwg div{margin:0px} .hdwg img {border:0px;padding:0px} .hdwg img {padding:0px} Will Jerry Yang Remain CEO Of Yahoo By End Of 2008?

The NY Times headline “Oh Jerry, It’s No Longer Your Baby” is wrong. If it wasn’t his baby, the company would have been sold. If it was sold, at least it would have been a rich baby. Now, the child will languish forever.

People this isn’t that hard. It’s called the “Agency Problem” and it’s something that everyone who took business law or econ 101 even in state schools heard about. The Agency Problem refers to the idea that there is a fundamental tension between a company’s shareholders and its managers. See the shareholders want to maximize the value of their shares which usually entails increasing profits. However, the managers (the people actually doing the work/creating the value) want to maximize the value of their take home pay. Sometimes you can align the two and make sweet, beautiful bidness together. Other times you have a bunch of overpaid Yahoos (oops, wrong term) that run around and don’t really create much value.
The other thing at work here is what is called market transition. See, the market since Yahoo! started has changed dramatically. Yahoo! needs to be a different company than it was when it started. Simply being the most usable online destination won’t cut it anymore. Google came along with the universe’s most scalable and profitable online business model and showed everyone how it’s done. Unfortunately, the Yahoos who own Yahoo!s stock are now pissed. “You mean we could’ve made THAT much money???” And they have a point: at what point in time could Yahoo! have said, “Gee, Google’s business model is reaaaaaaally compelling, let’s match that. We are amazingly larger than they are and have infinite resources compared to them.” (Clearly this comment is dated pre- 2003ish.) Unfortunately, at that exact same time, the Valley was undergoing one of the biggest hangovers in history. Thank the dot-com 1.0 excesses for making the survivors timid (I’m looking at you Kibu.com and Webvan!). So IAC, Yahoo!, Expedia, eBay and Amazon were all trying to be conservative and complying with the ‘new rules’ instituted across techland by Bust 1.0. This is how Google came to eat everyone’s lunch.
So now we have a situation where the shareholders (i.e. owners) of Yahoo! have no confidence in the managers of Yahoo! The managers stamp about and say, “I know better than you, to do a deal with Microsoft, because I am here creating value, while you are just an investor!” The owners stamp about and say, “Free Lattes is about all that Yahoo! has created lately, time to sell to a bigger fool that will actually have you!”
Then parasites like Michael Arrington stamps about and says, “Everyone’s talking about Yahoo! and I think I can inflame many, many losers who have too much time to visit my blog by taking incendiary positions on this topical, um…topic! If I were fair and balanced like Fox News, no one would ever visit me, which sucks because I don’t get out much.”
So, here we are with flametards set to full. A bunch of people who have way too much time on our hands debating about something over which we will have absolutely no say…
Enjoy!
