Yahoo! v. Holocaust Survivors
On January 29, 2001, Timothy Koogle, CEO of Yahoo! Inc. was accused of war crimes for allegedly denying the Holocaust. His accusers were a group of French Nazi concentration camp survivors, The Association of Deportees of Auschwitz and Upper Silesia. The underlying basis of the allegations occurred when Yahoo failed to obey a French court order directing it to block access to neo-Nazi content on its U.S. based servers. Yahoo's position was that the court order violated international and U.S. free speech laws. However, Yahoo was not simply a U.S. company. At the time of the suit, Yahoo had 24 international sites, and at each of these local international sites, Yahoo developed local sites. Approximately 40% of Yahoo's users at that time were from outside the United States. Yahoo France was established in 1996 and was a 70% owned subsidiary of Yahoo. Yahoo France was the first….

Indeed, the fact that the company's leadership team survived at all during its formative years speaks highly of the founder's vision and perseverance. In fact, Jerry Wang was originally rejected by a venture capital firm for suggesting to use what Hargrove (2001) indicates was "such a ridiculous name as Yahoo" (2001, p. 271). As Ashby and Miles (2002) also emphasize, countless up-and-comers at the time failed to make good on their plans for growing their businesses during the 1990s for a variety of reasons: "The decade departed in a rush of technology-driven euphoria that is not likely to be seen again for a long time; 21-year-olds are not likely to have another opportunity to raise millions of dollars on the strength of simplistic business plans favored simply because they contained the word 'Internet'" (p. xvii).

Despite these early problems with financing and credibility, the company's co-founder Wang and others believed….

Nonetheless, many of these opportunities have turned to be risky in nature. Human interventions using the Yahoo enterprise products suffer cases of hacking and other forms of attacks. It does not have to fulfill every need since Yahoo exists under global company ethos. Nonetheless, many of these opportunities are rewarding to the company. The global advertisement engines set up by the company enables varied accesses to engage in what they desire most. The company is rewarded due to its expanse, equitable service delivery, and integration with other service providers in delivering services to the people globally.

Yahoo!
The market capitalization of Yahoo as of April 29, 2011 is approximately $23.18 billion. The purchase price for a company often includes a premium to entice stockholders to sell their shares to the bidder. Alexandridis (2010) notes that the mean acquisition premium for large acquisitions is around 38%. This would give Yahoo! An implied acquisition price of $32 billion.

From a financial perspective, Yahoo is a healthy company. It is very liquid, with high current and quick ratios of 3.06 and 3.0 respectively. Yahoo's interest coverage ratio is 1.7, which is a little bit lower than might be preferred, but the company has a very low level of long-term debt ($138 million) that would likely be retired as a result of this transaction. Yahoo has strong earnings as well, recording a record $1.231 billion in net income last year. However, there is cause for concern, in that Yahoo's cash flow from….

Yahoo
Despite its many challenges, Yahoo remains a profitable company, and one of the market leaders in its field. This means that the company must be doing something right. Taken in isolation, Yahoo continues to have strong revenues and profits. The company has made money for several years in a row. Furthermore, Yahoo has been able to adjust to its shrinking business. This shows strong management, in that even when revenues are declining, the company is still able to maintain profitability. The ability to adjust the business and continue to be profitable, even when there are numerous challenges in the external environment, is something that will hold Yahoo in good stead going forward.

It is important to also keep in perspective that Yahoo has a strong brand, and has always maintained a high level of traffic. Having a base of loyal customers, and a widely recognized brand to help drive traffic, are….

Yahoo! Vs. China. Specifically it will discuss Yahoo's decision about whether to disclose a subscriber's personal information to the Chinese government. In 2004, the Chinese government requested the name of a Yahoo! subscriber in China. The ethics of the problem were immediately apparent, and made the decision extremely difficult.
To disclose or not to disclose could put Yahoo's fledgling relationship with China in the balance. It is a political decision with great ramifications for western companies hoping to gain a foothold in China. However, with the political situation in China, the government could use the information against the subscriber, and his or her life could even be in danger, so there are valid points about both situations. If Yahoo! values their business interests over personal involvement in a political situation, then they will disclose. However, if they set a precedent and do not disclose, they not only do the ethically….

Google and Yahoo!
History of the two companies

Yahoo was created in January 1994 by, Jerry Yang and David Filo, two Stanford graduate students. They created a website called "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web." It was a page with links to other websites created in a hierarchical manner. In April 1994, it was renamed as 'Yahoo!'.

Yahoo is definitely facing difficult challenges in the near future. Consumption is probably going down, but that is not something that will only affect Yahoo! The competition will also be seriously shaken. Another aspect that the firm's managers should consider is the more personalized approach proposed by Google. The G-mail service will be tailored to fit the desires of each and every user. The needs of each person, as manifested in the search conducted with Google's search engine, shall be reflected in the way the email account of that particular person is handled.

For instance, should someone be interested in marketing techniques, Google will put on the email box web site of that individual a few links related to that subject. Critics say that this is an unforgivable intrusion in people's privacy, since these data may be used to make up psychological profiles of each and every person using Google, which….

Google is a better value than Yahoo. This is because the company is involved in many different segments of the technology marketplace. They have a lower price earnings ratio and price to EBITDA. At the same time, the firm has a larger market capitalization, greater amounts of cash, low levels of debt and a management structure / strategy which are encouraging continuing innovation.

" Pericles said that Athenians did not have to be forced to chose the lot of the soldier, they loved the land that gave them the freedom to chose to live the way they wanted, rather than to fulfill a predetermined ideal and thus, when necessary: "They resigned to hope their unknown chance of happiness; but in the face of death they resolved to rely upon themselves alone." In a democracy, the citizen's sense of self-reliance is its life-blood. Values are created and chosen by consensus and the consent of the governed, not by a single, 'philosophical' intelligence and thus the values are more enthusiastically believed, and because they exercise choice from birth, people more able to undertake creative intellectual change, as they did in ancient Athens. The limits of Yahoo society, although it seems to be more socially stable than most democracies, is that people will not believe in….
