Small firms big advantages
Article Abstract:
An engineering firm which is small has both advantages and disadvantages compared to large firms. The owners can more easily respond to the needs of clients through their direct contact with them and their knowledge of local situations. Small firms can be more flexible, both in their employment terms and in their market responses, and they can take on work which does not interest larger firms. However, small firms may have trouble retaining staff, and owners may not have adequate management or marketing skills.
