who was chief executive of Cisco Systems Inc.<br \/>\n        CSCO,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/209509471\/composite\"

But he doesn\u2019t expect the land rush of initial public offerings that swamped public markets in 2021.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       \u201cLast year, a lot of companies went public via IPO and SPAC that shouldn\u2019t have,\u201d Chambers said. \u201cTwo-thirds of IPOs closed the year below their IPO price. They went out too early. This year, the market will be more selective about SPACs and IPOs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more: The record-breaking IPO market in 2021 masked some problems under the hood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>More than anything, 2022 will be defined by inflation, which will \u201cdisplace COVID as the top economic issue for U.S. companies across industries,\u201d said Chambers, with long-term impact on salaries, the supply-chain, housing prices and a labor shortage.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the anxiety and uncertainty is the withering influence of COVID, which will continue to propagate the Great Resignation as individuals chase their entrepreneurial dreams as well as the reimagining of tech workspaces and trade shows. COVID will force large conventions like CES and others to evolve into \u201cblended versions\u201d of in-person and virtual meetings, according to Chambers.<\/p>\n<p>The wild card for 2022 remains antitrust and regulation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is coming,\u201d Chambers said, in part, because Big Tech has strayed from \u201ctech for good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree to four years ago, the Democrats and the Republicans came out to talk to Silicon Valley leaders and said regulation was coming, and Silicon Valley did not listen,\u201d he said. \u201cCompanies were divided. They aren\u2019t used to working together, and often don\u2019t like each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antitrust in 2022: \u2018A year of thousands of tiny tech papercuts\u2019<\/strong> <\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>While executives from Microsoft Corp.<br \/>\n        MSFT,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/207732364\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+1.04%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Inc.<br \/>\n        AAPL,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/202934861\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.26%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       have <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly handled relations with Capitol Hill \u201cpretty well,\u201d companies with <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> elements such as Google and Facebook haven\u2019t communicated as well, landing them in hotter water, Chambers said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not build trust and communications, and are Heisman [Trophy] stiff-arming lawmakers\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Underscoring the animus, Sen.
