Marrisa Mayer

Decision making is one of the chief demands for a CEO of any company an in any industry, especially for Marrisa Mayer who is at the center of the new transformation at Yahoo. The details of the change of operation are gradually unfolding, but the shock of the news invokes the history of Yahoo as a carrier for information at a time when Google did not exist.  The legacies of Yahoo is a remedying exercise on how a company will perpetually perform to continue to sharpen competitive edge, and the story will relapse perhaps into the CEO at the center of transition. How to measure the performance of Mayer is a faulted argument riven between her stay at over-priced Google and the laminated involvement at Alibaba where Yahoo nose drive the back-up pay to shareholders. Some of us directly involved with Alibaba from its ancient beginning and with China Shipping may be bold to have mentioned that there was capacity in these companies, less bold to indict Mayer as an effective prairie in the Industry under who diction Yahoo bay a demise. With new proposed name Altaba for Yahoo, there are several ingredients in the motive.  

Would she have failed to see the grudging end of Yahoo – that is assuming this is the case - was she a factor in the demise of the once growing flowering search engine? Perhaps the complication with Yahoo is failure to emphasize the purpose and mission of the giant, or more to the point, the general public may or may not have wondered why after many years the company remained the same and how – if not why the public may or may not have lost view of what Yahoo Inc., converge into. The pillars that once held the company collapse into the future of a tech giant, and for the best of the team, the gaps between the more demanding realities of public and the off-real technology did not narrow. Enough cannot be was stated about the incompetence of the driver-force between Yahoo as a company and the speed of tech industry where names rise by the day and names fall at dusk.

If Yahoo remained at the top for many years, especially under Jerry Yang and David Filo – both nearly ran it to the ground, it was for its competitive ability and it faulted in Mayer, Marissa need broker to the public.     

If Yahoo takes a dive from the old curve to a new Altaba, the decision did not easily arrive and many of the more competent hands in YAHOO may have weighed the profits against the odds. In short, the ability to maintain to remain a leader in any tech industry and information carrier without adapting to change is sometimes a losing positive. There is nowhere to confirm that this always the case, but for a big company like Yahoo to thaw and re-do as Altaba, there is interesting reasons which the public may or may not need to know.
