It is understood that there is a feeling to inject some \u201cinventive spirit\u201d into the new outfit that results from the planned merger. And the place to achieve that is the technology hub of Silicon Valley, the birth place of the world\u2019s greatest tech brains and companies.<\/p>\n
At Silicon Valley, the new S will be expected to have at least 1,000 more employees.
