雅虎CEO梅爾上任一周年

過去這一年,雅虎確實變得很不一樣,首先從最具體的股價來看,根據《金融時報》報導,雅虎股價已經大幅成長超過70%。
另一個最明顯的改變是,持續購併有潛力的新創事業。《財星》雜誌指出,梅爾接任執行長至今,已經購併了16家創業公司,其中包括今年5月以11億美元的價格收購Tumblr。被購併的16家創業公司都與雅虎4大產品類別有關:核心業務(內容、應用程式、搜尋)、社群、遊戲、影音(視訊聊天與會議)。當然,更重要的是,透過購併,直接取得雅虎極缺的行動服務人才。
梅爾也確實花費心思改變企業文化,讓雅虎有了一番新氣象,吸引老鳥回巢。今年第一季新雇用的員工當中,有14%是舊員工回流。
然而,除了股價之外,梅爾上任一年並未對雅虎的財務表現有顯著的幫助。而股價上漲的最主要原因其實是阿里巴巴以及雅虎日本公司(雅虎握有這兩家公司的股權)的快速成長。
至 於雅虎本業的經營,並不樂觀。薩司奎哈納(Susquehanna)證券公司分析師布萊恩.挪威克(Brian Nowak)預估,2013年雅虎的營收成長將不到1%,原因即在於雅虎多項核心業務持續呈現衰退,包括最大營收來源的展示型廣告業務,以及主題頻道市佔 率下滑(包括運動、新聞、金融、娛樂)。此外,使用人口老化,網站成長有80%來自45歲以上的網友。上述的問題,都有待梅爾一一解決。(吳凱琳編譯)
