Cisco made its name by buying small, usually privately held companies just as they finished developing new technology. Cisco would use its sales force to sell the new gear to corporate customers who wouldn\u2019t open their doors to a startup. Sales would surge.<\/p>\n
But Cisco is now so large that it needs to make bigger plays to have an impact on the top line. It\u2019s stalking companies that already have substantial revenue, along with the potential for much more growth. \u2026\u201dIt\u2019s the only way to move the needle at a company of this size.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One thing Cisco won\u2019t do is try to strike a mega-merger, with a company about the same size. That puts him at odds with rivals such as Lucent Technologies and France\u2019s Alcatel, which recently agreed to combine. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to do mergers of equals,\u201d says Hooper. \u201cReally large deals often fail.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
