Founded in 1992, Grand Junction produced a very competitive product in the emerging ethernet desktop switching market. Howard Charney, CEO and a founder of Grand Junction, had spent the summer of 1995 in meetings and negotiations with his senior management team, his investment bankers, and representatives of Cisco to discuss whether Grand Junction should be acquired by Cisco or issue stock in an initial public offering (IPO). Prior to being solicited by Cisco, Charney had not really given any thought to being acquired. Grand Junction was on a fast growth curve, the IPO market was hot, and he and the other founders had planned from the beginning to take the company public. Yet Cisco was very interested, and although it had required a lot of work to get Cisco to a reasonable price, it was possible that the two companies would reach an agreement. Charney, however, was torn between the two options–he wondered which was financially more attractive, how his employees would react, and whether going public was really so important.
