Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer back at a school desk. Ex-leader Microsoft in 1980 threw Stanford University (Business School) to become the 30th employee of the future of the software giant. Now he returns to Stanford, the truth is as a teacher. For this fall, he will teach a course of strategic management, and next year he will be teaching also at the University of Southern California. 58-year-old Ballmer yesterday announced his retirement from the Board of Directors of Microsoft. 8 months ago he released CEO Microsoft, which he has held since 2000, when he took the reins from Bill Gates.
"The combination of an experienced practitioner and valuable experience of faculty work - a landmark status for the School of Business at Stanford University," - says Helen Cheng , a spokesman for the university. note that despite the departure of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer is still the largest shareholder in Microsoft c shares valued at 20.8 billion dollars. Besides teaching, Ballmer will also focus on working with another one of its asset - basketball club Los Angeles Clippers.
Ballmer acquired "Clippers' Donald Sterling for $ 2 billion. Ex-owner of the "Clippers" Sterling was fined and barred for life from any job in the NBA for the fact that in a telephone conversation with his girlfriend asked her not to upload photos to social networks with blacks and not bring them to the matches of his team. After that, the NBA start forcing Sterling to sell the club, as his remarks have damaged the league and the team. Recall also that Microsoft founder Bill Gates consistently sells stock of a corporation and is no longer the largest holder of shares of the corporation, giving it the title is Steve Ballmer.
