Yahoo has had a lot of issues recently.  Google virtually has the search engine market cornered and Yahoo is looking to catch up.  Yahoo has tried all kinds of things like acquiring plenty of web services without much of a return. 

Carol Bartz took over as Yahoo’s CEO last month and is wasting no time trying to right the ship.  It is expected that Yahoo management will change significantly this week with a reorganization of management that would be similar to Autodesk.  Bartz was the CEO of Autodesk before taking on Yahoo.

Yahoo’s corporate structure is currently a strange matrix which means there is no direct chain of management.  Workers report to multiple people to get work done.  That sounds a bit like an “Office Space” kind of mess.  This matrix structure is expected to get the boot and be replaced with new chiefs like a COO or CTO.
