| Kerotan said: I see they offered close to $50 BILLION a few years ago to buy yahoo. But their offer was turned down. Yahoo was recently sold for almost $5 BILLION.
So I ask, if Microsoft bought them for $50BN would yahoo's value have dramatically dropped and it would have been a terrible deal, or would Microsoft have kept yahoo as a top player in the game?
Did Microsoft unintentionally dodge a bullet? |
Just yesterday a video came up on my YouTube suggestions for 10 biggest fails and one of them was the Google and Yahoo story. It's amazing looking back now at the decisions that could have saved companies from going down under or becoming shells of their former selves.
