The overhaul probably represents Mayer’s last chance to persuade restless shareholders she has figured out how to revive Yahoo’s growth after 3 1/2 years of futility.
Yahoo’s revenue has been shrinking through most of Mayer’s reign, even though she has spent more than $3 billion on acquisitions and introducing features designed to bring in more traffic and sell more advertising.
