Management shakeup at Yahoo imminent

Yahoo has had a lot of issues recently. Google virtually has the search engine market cornered and Yahoo is looking to catch up. Yahoo has tried all kinds of things like acquiring plenty of web services without much of a return.

Carol Bartz took over as Yahoo’s CEO last month and is wasting no time trying to right the ship. It is expected that Yahoo management will change significantly this week with a reorganization of management that would be similar to Autodesk. Bartz was the CEO of Autodesk before taking on Yahoo.

Yahoo! gets a new CEO

Jerry Yang is out as CEO of Yahoo! after a less than memorable year. Today, Carol Bartz is the new CEO. Does she have what it takes to right the ship?

Her past experience, while no indicator of future performance, shows that she made Audodesk a huge success. When she first started as CEO of Autodesk revenues were below $300 million. When she left, revenues were over $1.5 billion.
