A typical example would be the Boeing Company. Boeing has been severely impacted by the "Asian Flu" with a marked reduction in order for new planes. Boeing buys lots of Cisco routers. They are cutting back on expenses because they are currently losing money. They will be laying off people next year. IMO, they will not be buying Cisco routers. If they buy any networking equipment to increase productivity, it will probably be gigabit ethernet switches which does not have the same profit margins as routers. IMO, Cisco will be hurt more than 3Com, Bay or Cabletron because of their heavy dependence on the enterprise sector.
