From the Paper
"The online auction industry, a segment of electronic retail is currently a monopoly. Ebay.com controls 69% of the market share with its closest competitor in the industry being Ubid.com with 14%. Even with this, Ubid.com has a different niche than Ebay.com by appealing to business-to-consumer transactions. Therefore, the closest competitor is Amazon or Yahoo! Auctions which do not even account for a quarter of the market. The reason that this monopoly is allowed to continue is because Ebay.com does not restrict any trade within the industry. There is room for new entrants but they too, must find a niche in order to gain entry."

Abstract
This paper discusses the market position and strength of Yahoo!. The analysis relies on market research as well as an in-depth examination of Yahoo's financial reports over the last three year period.

From the Paper
"Yahoo! Inc. began as a pioneer in the Internet industry and certainly pioneered web search and web portal technology. Currently Yahoo! has expanded its business model to incorporate such functionality as web based voice communications, photos and photo imaging technology via its Flickr division, and various online shopping functions among other activities (Yahoo!). Yahoo! is a strong investment opportunity despite its once troubled business. Currently its market capitalization is approximately $57 billion and its price to earnings ration is 53 times earnings. As with Google.com, while this P/E might seem high, it is reasonable for an Internet based company. Further, Yahoo!'s profit margin, at 32% is even higher than Google.com's and ensures a reasonably strong mid-term outlook (Yahoo!)."

Yahoo!'s line of business (LOB) centers on internet content and media communications as well as navigational directories and search (Yahoo!, 2005). Yahoo! maintains operations throughout the North American Continent, Europe, the Asia Pacific Rim, particularly China, and Latin America and is headquartered in California, USA with over 7,600 worldwide employees (Yahoo!, 2005)."

Outline:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
From the Paper
"Advertising sales relates to the first weakness of Yahoo!: its dependence on keyword advertising for revenue. The largest portion of Yahoo!'s revenue comes from search advertising, where companies bid for search terms to display their own advertisements within the search results. With the above-mentioned Project Panama, Yahoo! aims to increase revenue generated from search results, but they also recognize the need to diversify its revenue sources of revenue. In 2001, Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel announced that a company objective was to diversify its revenue so only 50% would be derived from advertising; however, as of 2006, over 85% of Yahoo!'s revenue came from advertising (Elgin, 2005).

From the Paper
"Yahoo! is the name of a company that offers a fast method for searching the World Wide Web on the Internet, and the company has been very successful and recently went public to raise funds for further growth. Growth of the Web itself has been rapid, and this has meant a tangle of web pages, hotlinks, and new sites. Explorers on the Internet often get lost. As of January 1, 1996 the World Wide Web had some 200,000 sites, or Web servers, offering close to 20,000,000 pages of information.
Yahoo! has been a pioneer in this area and believes that some 1 million people per day take 7 million looks at Web pages from its directory. Advertisers see this as an opportunity, though to date only Yahoo! reports that its operation is profitable. Advertisers see this technology as a way to pinpoint..."

Yahoo Versus eBay, 2004.
Presents a case study of comparative successful e-commerce strategies.
1,432 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the Internet services offered by two online retail databases, eBay and Yahoo, and argues that Yahoo is the best business compared to eBay in the virtual retail world today. The paper examines their products, the forms of e-commerce they use, and provides a comparison of each sites' strengths and weaknesses.
From the Paper
"Both the online retail databases Ebay and Yahoo offer similar Internet services. If a consumer wishes to purchase a particular product online, all he or she has to do is net-surf over to Yahoo.com and be confronted with a plethora of online retailers, large and small. Similarly, if a consumer wishes to buy a product, he or she can simply access the Ebay site. There, he or she can view a variety of retailers across the country, all offering different prices, and place a bid for his or her desired selection. Both of these Internet sites have a high level of name recognition on the Internet as general retail sites. Unlike, for instance, Amazon.com, neither site is known mainly as the middleperson for purveying one particular kind of product. Although Amazon may have ?branched out? to include more than books in its product line, it is still mainly associated with retailing books and offers a far more narrow base of retailers in its list of approved retail sites."

The Houyhnhnms and the Yahoos, 2005.
An analysis of the fourth book of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels".

Abstract
This paper examines how, in the fourth book of Swift?s "Gulliver?s Travel"s, the narrator of the fictional travelogue finds himself again shipwrecked and stranded, this time on the island of the Houyhnhnms, which are horses who have all the trappings of a reasonable and enlightened society. In particular, it looks at how the tables are turned in an interesting way, as the Houyhnhnms are the masters of logic, reason, dignity, and the Yahoos, who are humans, are portrayed as being avaricious and savage. It looks at how the narrator takes his place in the society of the horses and finds that he is much more comfortable among them; he reviles the conduct of the Yahoos he observes and distances himself from them as much as is possible.
From the Paper
"Other sources have seen more of a duality in Swift?s condemnation of humanity, stressing the difference between human beings and Yahoos rather than the similarities. These scholars have made differentiations between the Yahoos and the Houyhnhnms in terms of both humans and horses being lacking in essential tenets of societal success, as observed by the narrator. After all, the horses cannot build boats, and are served to have no written language. This leads some scholars to comment that human beings are neither Yahoos nor Houyhnhnms, but are somewhere in between: the Yahoos are too universally wretched and savage, and the horses are too change-averse and stultified in their own stable society."

Paper Outline:
Introduction
Growth of e-Commerce
Yahoo!
Google
Industry Environment
SWOT
Comparison
Works Cited
From the Paper
"Both services are likely to succeed in the short term, and Google seems poised for growth. However, many went broke waiting for profits from such companies during the dot.com era of the 1990s, so neither service is assured of success. Yahoo! is somewhat more traditional in orientation, but Google may have the stronger team and the better approach to this new area of commerce. Investors seem to be drawn to Google, but investors should sink money into this venture with caution given the uncertainties that exist and the failures of the recent past. The real strength of each company should emerge over the next three or four years as the business plan is more fully tested and revenues either grow or not."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper responds to a series of four questions related to business management concerns. Specifically, it discusses core competencies, business ethics, a case study and the entrepreneurial strategy mix. The paper illustrates core competencies through a discussion of the U.S. automotive industry while the business ethics question revolves around several actions taken recently by firms such as Yahoo! and Google in their global operations.
From the Paper
"General Motors (GM), Ford, and Chrysler are the traditional "big three" of the automotive industry in North America while GM is, for the time being, the largest automotive manufacturer in the world (GM's, 2005). While these three competitors have few core competencies in common, one would be that they have mastered the concept of producing a product for every conceivable market. This competency, summarized as the capability to produce a comprehensive product line, was really started by GM in the first part of last century with its car for every purpose and pocket book approach as propounded by its then Chairman Alfred P. Sloan (GM's, 2005). This mindset and strategic approach has permeated the entire automotive industry ever since."

"Few individuals have the drive, intellect, loyalty, and personal motivation to become successful over the long-term. Even fewer individuals have the foresight and risk-taking ability needed to recognize opportunities that alter society in the long-run.Timothy Koogle, once president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Yahoo!, is one such individual. What makes Koogle particularly unique is his vast experience (he had over 20 years experience in high technology prior to joining Yahoo!) as well as the fact that he was one of the captains of Yahoo!?s rapid skyrocketing."
