Yahoo under pressure to act after failed partnership with Google

Following the collapse of the alliance with Google, Yahoo is once again discussing a cooperation with the software group Microsoft. At a conference in San Francisco, CEO Jerry Jang expressed the opinion that the purchase of Yahoo would be the best thing for Microsoft. This was after he had vehemently opposed a takeover as recently as this year.
However, it remains to be seen whether Microsoft is prepared to resume negotiations with Yahoo, writes the Frankfurter Allgemeine on Friday. Without the cooperation with Google, the pressure on Yahoo to act will increase now that the hoped-for additional revenue from the alliance in the advertising business with Google has been lost. A possible option for analysts is a smaller stake, whereby Microsoft would only take over the Internet search business.
