With Eisner's Exit Planned, Focus Shifts to Disney Board - FoxNews.com, 9/10/04 (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,132086,00.html)
The attention of many Disney watchers shifted immedately to the board's next move. It must find a successor and grapple with Eisner's declared preference that President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Iger (search) take his place.
"It is important that the board make it clear it is an open search process," said Sanford Bernstein analyst Tom Wolzien, who said Eisner's announcement was positive. "It tells you that change is coming, and one of the criticisms of the company is that it has been insular," he said.
