Suggestions (Interview Tips)
Lucent Technologies
 IMPROVE human resources management: Lost
nearly 2 dozen top managers and engineers due to
profit warning on Jan 6, 2002
GOOD NEWS!!! In contrast, Nortel will invest
$260mil, hire 3400 people next quarter to
meet the demand.
Suggestions
Nortel Networks
 INTRODUCE stronger products in corporation data
networking business that CISCO dominates
Suggestions
CISCO
 CONCENTRATE more in optical networking: has
bought bits and pieces to put together an optical
networking like Pirelli, Cerent and Monterey. Not
enough compare to Lucent and Nortel.
Conclusion
Fiber Optics Communication
Expressway
CISCO raising the speed limit
LUCENT adding more lanes
NORTEL providing faster transport
equipments
Quote: BusinessWeek October 2002
Future is uncertain, however, we know the traffic is

infrastructure to support the demand.
