Ruckus Wireless is a growing force in the wireless internetworking area providing
Smart Wi-Fi products and WLAN systems. Back in 2007, Ruckus was a smaller
startup with ambitious plans - to grow aggressively (4 to 5x in 4 years) and to
compete and win against much bigger rivals. It faced several hurdles – limited
resources and working capital, limited purchasing power and little brand
recognition. On top of that, the macro-economic situation became uncertain.
Managing limited resources intelligently therefore, became a prerequisite to
success.
