E-bay (a) The thought of a Yahoo!-E-BAY union has been around for a extended time. the majority lately. I don't have any inside data but of all the Yahoo! merger/acquisition converse (Microsoft, New Corp./MySpace swap, etc.) The detail that E-BAY would manage so much more of the fresh company might be unappealing for Yahoo! shareholders, but the union would still be helpful to both organizations (Cihlar, Christopher 2006, 45-78)
