Ryan Cohen Won't Back Down eBay Takeover Bid Should Not Be Dismissed

have received millions of dollars in pay while the company's shareholders h[1D[K
have seen little return on their investment.

commitment to making cost cuts and considerable changes at eBay if his prop[4D[K

company himself. This approachability and willingness to take on new challe[6D[K
challenges are characteristics that have earned him a reputation as a shrew[5D[K

The Next Steps
