Recently, as China’s giant e-commerce operation Alibaba went public, another Chinese internet company—yahoo began to get in a dilemma. Inventors put a low value on yahoo’s core business, which made Yahoo’s market capitalization slipped to $40 billion.
It seems that, unfortunately, before Alibaba went public, yahoo has been seen as a “springboard” to get Alibaba’s share. In the past few years, yahoo’s most important decision is to hold a huge amount of Alibaba’s share, which gives the company a chance to “abduction” the investors. But while the situation is changing, yahoo has to figure out some more positive strategy in order to defuse this problem. However, In my point of view, yahoo is lack of special points to attract the market. In fact, although it is one of the earliest e-business company, yahoo stopped to grow and made little difference in the function and ideas. Yahoo really need to develop differential strategies and pay more attention on its substantial changes like exploring new social and communication ideas and find some more supportive partners. I believe the actual strength of the company itself can give more confidence to the public than holding other company’s shares.
