Cisco follows a survival of the fittest strategy without really saying it or pushing teams/acquisitions to the death. They provide all the resources you need, are very ethical and help your newly acquired team do your best. If your team (business unit as they call it) doesn't cut it after a few years, they start maneuvering those resources elsewhere. But they've always given every acquisition a fair chance to have their own story. See: Meraki, Insieme, Webex. Cisco probably doesn't care if a few of their startup acquisitions don't work out.
