Yahoo! confronts numerous governance and tactical challenges in late 2011 as it struggles to compete with competitors for example Google and find methods to monetize its shareholding and business connections with Alibaba Group in China along with Yahoo in Japan. The business is now valued at nearly half the offer that Microsoft had made in its acquisition offer in 2008.
The depth of the challenge is underscored by the frequent CEO shifts the firm has had, culminating in the recent firing of the latest CEO, Carol Bartz. The case investigates the successes and failures at Yahoo! and also the decisions now facing its board as it runs into investor pressure to boost functionality.
