There are many corporations of much larger than 200 people who can trace their existence back hundreds of years. Your implication that only a *fool* or a *megalomaniac* would ever take on the task of leading such an entity betrays your intense anti-business bias, I would suggest, and has very little to do with reality.
If big business is so horrible and run by such truly awful people, why do you drive a car? Why do you fly in airplanes? Why do you use dish-washers and vacuum cleaners? Why do you shop in grocery stores rather than pluck your own weeds? Every day you willingly, gladly and completely unthink- ingly use thousands of products which could only have been produced by long-lived, stable, efficient companies of vastly more than 200 people. Bashing big business is so sophomoric. You would prefer the Middle Ages, I assume? For what - the fresh air? Outside of cities, perhaps, but the stench and filth in cities came WAY before big business. For the educational opportunities? Big smile on that one. For the simplicity of life? Well, 80% of people dying by age 5 and most of the rest dying by age 30 does cut down on the number of choices one has to make, so life was simpler in that respect. Yes, there are many examples of bad apples in big business. There are even more examples of bad apples who are loners. So what? Look what you choose by essentially every action you take, including looking at this website which involves the intense cooperation of hundreds of different large business entities, and see what your actions say about your feelings. Drop the posturing, please. It's sort of like Maharishi nattering on about how horrible western medicine is when he would have died multiple times already without it. Totally undercuts the argument. There is ALWAYS something that can be improved in any situation. Always. I think that focusing on that makes way more sense than bitching about things that obviously work so well that you perpetually choose them. --- In [email protected], Bhairitu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From what I've seen it is pretty difficult to manage a company much > larger than 200.
