This process is full of Microsoft's internal parties to the interests of the game. The following is the full text of the article: Microsoft has spent a very long time looking for a successor to Steve Ballmer, a former CEO, but in fact, for a large company, such Ballmer should usually be made in advance. In an article in Vanity Fair magazine, Betheny Mcklinn (Bethany McLean) reported on the complexities surrounding Microsoft's CEO transition. Mr. Ballmer said last June that he had reached a friendly agreement to buy Nokia's 8.27,0.10,1.22% equipment business, which only needed approval from the board. He did not attend his son's high school graduation dinner, and the next day the board refused to approve the deal and did not wish to discuss it. Ballmer was furious and even shouted and threatened to resign. Bill Gates, Microsoft's founder, was also one of the people who made the decision, so Ballmer felt betrayed. The board finally made concessions and agreed to a version of the deal. But it is clear that Ballmer cannot remain in the post of CEO, even though Microsoft has not yet found a successor to the CEO. "Some of the decisions made by the board are irreversible," Ballmer told Mcklinn. The incident also led to a split between Gates and Ballmer: The two friends were no longer in touch, leading to a more complex process of Microsoft's search for a CEO.

Gates had a different view, and then Pietermaritzburg rejected the position because he thought he would lack sufficient autonomy. Virtual Limited CEO, Microsoft board member Thompson (John Thompson) sources said to Mcklinn that this189.36,3.65,1.97%, a former IBM executive, was not actively seeking the job, and he took over as chairman of Microsoft. When other board members presented Thompson as the candidate, Gates expressed no support. Some members of Microsoft's board still want to look for new CEOs outside the company after many outside candidates have declined, Vestberg, 12.11,0.16,1.34% 's CEO, Hans Vestburg. However, Vestberg postponed a meeting with Microsoft's Board, which led the Microsoft Board to believe he was not very interested in the job. Kevin Turner, Microsoft's chief operating officer, Kevin Tena as a former senior executive at Wal-Mart (78.24,0.94,1.22%), with Mr Ballmer's support. However, he was defeated by Ned in the competition for his internal candidates. How does Nadra stand out from so many candidates? In addition to being loyal to Microsoft, he is also thought to be willing to make changes that break a relatively closed corporate culture. More importantly, he was a friendly person, supported by both Ballmer and Gates, while others were willing to follow Nadra. Gates decided to play a more active role at Microsoft, which also required the new CEO to work closely with gates. (D-Gold)
