Adam,
A minor clarification. Even when the company issues new stock, there is no loss of value due to dilution of share price, to the company. Retained earnings stay the same.knc

But bambs made a valid point--that Cisco could instead sell calls on the open market and rake in cash, instead of giving the options to employees. The amount it would be able to take in cashwise on the open market is the equivalent of monetizing the opportunity cost which you say cannot be quantified. Obviously, it can be quantified.
