Analysts: Bartz Won't Rush Into Microsoft Deal
Wed, Jan 14th, 2009 |
Yahoo's new CEO, Carol Bartz, is unlikely to sell Yahoo's search business to Microsoft unless it fits into her own plan for how to fix Yahoo, despite rumors that a deal between the two is imminent, analysts said Wednesday.
Bartz, the former Autodesk chairman, CEO and president tapped Tuesday as Jerry Wang's replacement to lead Yahoo, has a reputation as a tough and strong-willed executive, and would not have taken the job if it meant selling Yahoo's substantial search assets to Microsoft straightaway, said Karsten Weide, an analyst with research firm IDC.
