However, it is precisely because of Microsoft's greed for bigness and perfection that it has gradually lost its original characteristics and has been overshadowed by the outstanding performance of the rapidly rising Internet high-tech companies.

Admit it!

Microsoft is a well-deserved leader, but it is not the dominant player in the online world. You cannot cover everything.

If this is the case for Microsoft, why not be the same for Yahoo?"

After hearing this, Bill Gates fell into deep thinking;

Thanks to its dominance in the desktop field, Microsoft has been able to reach the world's top level and become the leader in the software industry.

Over the years, with the surging wave of high-tech networks and the continuous emergence of innovative technologies and innovative applications, Microsoft, the once dominant company, has gradually lost its way.

Microsoft has acquired quite a few software companies, numbering between two and three hundred.

Before the merger and acquisition, these companies had outstanding performance in their original fields.

However, once it was incorporated into the Microsoft Corporation, it seemed that it suddenly lost its vitality, and gradually disappeared from the public, and was gradually replaced by a new generation of network high-tech companies.

This situation also occurs in Yahoo, which is really puzzling.

Wang Yaocheng knows the answer;

This is because Microsoft and Yahoo are also suffering from big company diseases. The decision-making mechanism is bloated and rigid, and office politics are rampant. Vibrant high-tech Internet companies are not taken seriously when they are included, and even the founder team will be excluded and marginalized.

The heart is dissatisfied, the anger is not smooth,

Under such circumstances, how can we expect these acquired network high-tech companies to perform well?

What will inevitably follow is that the founding team will become discouraged, the capable people will simply cash out and leave, find a place to start a new business in Silicon Valley, while the incompetent people will settle down and become members of the huge workforce.

If things go on like this, the vicious cycle will stifle the atmosphere of innovation, and the huge team of employees will consume all the nutrients of innovation, and they will naturally become confused.

The only way to solve all these shortcomings is to make radical changes from top to bottom;

The golden monkey rises with great strength, and the jade sky clears the air.

However, Wang Yaocheng will not give a final solution. After all, Microsoft is a direct competitor of Red Hat Systems. Although the two bosses have a close personal relationship, there is no reason to help competitors!

How serious is that?

Wang Yaocheng said earnestly; "Bill, you and Steve Ballmer are both members of the board of directors of Microsoft, co-founders and classmates, and have huge influence in the company. First of all, you must unify your opinions and not let your subordinates get it."

Wrong information."

"Well... this is very important. I will try my best to make up for this."

Bill Gates nodded with a sincere expression. Wang Yaocheng couldn't bear to see this and reminded him again: "The company's execution ability is very important. It has to digest so many mergers and acquisitions. If barriers are formed within the company, all energy will be lost."

It’s consumed internally.”

Bill Gates hesitated, still unable to make up his mind.

After all, these companies were bought with real money. Yahoo has acquired more than 160 companies in the past year and a half, spending more than 15 billion US dollars. It can't be thrown away as junk, right?

But integration is a big problem, and it's almost an unsolvable cycle.

Almost all high-tech talents who can succeed in starting a business in Silicon Valley are unruly people who have high self-esteem. No one is willing to be inferior to others. It is okay to say that there are three or five people who can always find a way to blend in.

What should we do if hundreds of ambitious entrepreneurs get together?

Internet high-tech companies are all about creativity, genius ideas and accurate market positioning. Without the most understanding initial founder team, everything will be in chaos.

This is different from Cisco's mergers and acquisitions. The main purpose is to acquire the product patent pool and technical expertise of small and medium-sized companies, enrich its product lines, and incorporate them into the entire Cisco network equipment list.

The existence of the original company's board of directors is an obstacle, and it must be kicked away, or it must be a small shareholder with no sense of existence, so as not to affect the operation of the entire company.
