[lbo-talk] factchecking the small business mystique

[Joanna]

I'm not disagreeing with your argument, but I wonder if it also applies 
to software firms. My experience with large computer firms is that 
innovation gets lost or nowhere in the many layers of management, which 
is why there are so many startups and why, after a certain point, large 
computer corps "grow" by buying said small, successful companies.

There is actually not that much differential in pay and a lot of 
engineers greatly prefer the smaller firms.

Just saying.
