Yahoo is an American internet company founded in 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo. It provides a variety of internet services including web portal, search engine, email, online advertising and more. While popular worldwide, Yahoo faces strong competition from companies like Google and Microsoft. To secure rapid success in the Gulf region, Yahoo would need to leverage its diverse service offerings, collaborate internally, and customize its marketing and services to the local cultural environment.
Yahoo aims to launch an Arabic version website and expand its services and presence in the Middle East market. It acquired Maktoob.com in 2009 to gain a foothold in the region and compete with Google. Yahoo opened new offices in Dubai and Amman to enhance its position in the Middle East and provide services in Arabic. It also launched safety initiatives like "Yahoo Oasis of Safety" to educate children and families in the region on internet safety. Yahoo hopes this strategy will help it succeed in building a major brand in the Gulf region.

Yahoo was founded in 1994 by two Stanford students and grew rapidly, going public in 1996. Between 1994 and 2000, Yahoo's strategy evolved as planned with the goal of becoming a major internet portal, however the company struggled to adapt to unforeseen events like the dot-com bubble bursting in 2001. Facing declining advertising revenue, the then-CEO Timothy Koogle resigned in 2001, demonstrating for a public company the CEO often takes responsibility for performance issues beyond their control.
Yahoo was founded in 1995 and had great success with its IPO, though its stock price later declined significantly. It is now the second largest global internet brand and generates most of its revenue from online advertising. However, its net income declined in 2008 compared to 2007. Yahoo's core strategy is to be the starting point for internet users by providing marketing solutions to advertisers and platforms to attract developers. It offers many free services but also premium services and has expanded internationally, though it faces strong competition from Google.
Yahoo failed due to weak management, cluttered services, poor security, and missed opportunities to acquire companies like Google and Facebook. Reasons for failure included not buying emerging technologies, paying billions for acquisitions that did not boost growth, numerous security breaches losing user trust, and not adapting to new trends. To succeed, Yahoo needs to focus on improving current services, leverage growing mobile and online ad markets, and better engage its large existing user base through superior customer experience.
Yahoo was founded in 1994 by two Stanford graduate students. It grew to be a popular web portal and search engine throughout the 1990s and 2000s. While Yahoo pioneered many internet services and products, its search capabilities lagged behind competitors like Google. Under new CEO Marissa Mayer, Yahoo's strategy is to focus on services it excels in, partner widely, and achieve strong mobile growth by 2015.

This document provides a summary of the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal that occurred from 2011-2015. Over 5,300 Wells Fargo employees opened over 2 million checking and credit card accounts without customers' consent in order to meet unrealistic sales goals. This illegal activity resulted in Wells Fargo paying $185 million in fines by the CFPB and OCC. The scandal damaged Wells Fargo's reputation and led to the firing of its CEO and over 5,000 employees who were involved. The document examines how Wells Fargo's overemphasis on sales goals and lack of oversight and controls over employees contributed to the development of a corrupt corporate culture.

Here are 3 key strategies Harley should pursue to succeed in emerging markets like Brazil, China, and India against competitors with lower costs:
1. Price competitively by adjusting prices regionally and introducing products at lower price points tailored to local purchasing power.
2. Refocus their brand image through modernized designs and introducing lighter motorcycle models to appeal to younger consumers.
3. Invest in local production through assembly plants in these regions to lower costs and be responsive to local market needs, labor forces, and avoid high import tariffs. This will allow Harley to better control their value chain and compete on price.
Pursuing an aggressive international expansion into these large emerging markets is critical for Harley to sustain long-

Harley-Davidson has been a staple of American culture for over 100 years. While it struggled in the 1970s and 1980s, investments in new models and production efficiencies led to strong growth.

Hasbro is one of the largest toy companies in the world founded in 1923. It has a large portfolio of well-known toy brands such as Transformers, My Little Pony, and Monopoly. While Hasbro has a strong brand portfolio and distribution network, it faces threats from increasing regulations and many substitute products. Potential strategies for Hasbro include outsourcing manufacturing, expanding globally, developing digital media like video games based on its brands, and marketing strategies to leverage its classic toy brands in new digital entertainment. However, focusing first on creating new digitally-driven characters and entertainment may be a better long-term strategy than short-term exploitation of existing toy brands.

CASE 23
Is Yahoo!’s Business Model Working in 2011?
In 2006, Yahoo! was the world’s most-visited in-
teractive Web portal or entryway into the World
Wide Web (WWW). It averaged over 144 million
page views per day, earned $2 billion on revenues
of $6.4 billion in 2006, and its stock price was
around $30 (down from its all time high of $100
before the 2000 dot.com bust led its stock price to
plunge in value to $4.40!). By 2010, Yahoo! was still
the third most-visited Web portal, despite that both
Google and Facebook surpassed it in their numbers
of daily page views. Moreover, its share of the search
engine market had dramatically plummeted from
over 30% to around 12% while Google search in-
creased its share to a whopping 65%. The result of
these changes was that in 2011, Yahoo!’s stock price
averaged around only $15—it had lost over half its
value in the last 5 years. What went wrong? Why
had Yahoo!’s business model been performing so
poorly; why were its strategies not working in the
rapidly evolving Internet content provider industry?
Yahoo!’s Beginnings
The Yahoo! portal has its origins in the Website
directory created as a hobby by its two founders,
David Filo and Jerry Yang. Filo and Yang, two Ph.D.
candidates in electrical engineering at Stanford Uni-
versity. They wanted a quick and easy way to re-
member and revisit the Websites they had identified
as the best and most useful from the hundreds of
thousands of sites that were quickly appearing on
the WWW in the early-1990s. They soon realized
that as the list of their favorite Websites grew lon-
ger and longer, the list began to lose its usefulness,
as they had to wade through a longer and longer
list of URLs (Website addresses) to find the specific
site they wanted. So to reduce their search time Filo
and Yang decided to divide their list of Websites into
smaller and more manageable categories according
to each one’s specific content or subject matter, such
as sports, business, politics, or culture. In 1994, they
published their Website directory online calling it
“Jerry’s Guide to the WWW” for their friends to use.
Soon, hundreds—then thousands—of people located
and clicked on their Website because it saved them
time and effort to identify the most useful sites—
their Website went viral.
As they continued to develop their directory, Filo
and Yang found that each of the directory’s subject
categories were also quickly becoming large and un-
wieldy to search, so they further divided them into
subcategories. Now, their directory organized Web-
sites into a hierarchy, rather than a searchable index
of pages, so they renamed their directory “Yahoo!”
supposedly short for “Yet Another Hierarchical Of-
ficious Oracle,” and the Yahoo! search engine was
born ...
