Is Microsoft eating Yahoo! a clash of the cultures?
I think that MS has many middle management issues that hampers their innovation process. It takes too many chains of offices/departments/positions before anything can be decided and implemented. This is why I think Microsoft suffers at the hands of new web startups where companies are started on-the-cheap, with just 1-3 people. no different departments. no overlapping positions and the owners focusing with one or two target niches. They get the job done fast, earn twice as much and grow at a fast rate — like Google. Yahoo! for a time was similar to Google, but as others say, they were polluted by hollywoodish management of Terry Semel. In which they lost their identity as a fun and creative company… nevertheless, I still like their products. If this merge takes place, what can we expect for our beloved zune? I don’t think we’ll have a chance to find out. because of the latest news. Yahoo! rejecting $44.6 Billion.
