Business — Economies for small firms , By KENNETH McDONALD > The present combination of big institutions, big ‘cities and big welfare rests ona myth'~ that bigness - provides-<.economies of ~ scale.:On’ the . contrary, except in special cases, bigness results from mergers and acquisitions - organizing small \ and medium-sized — enterprises under common ownership. A recent US. Senate study shows that, though large multi-plant U.S. corporations provide 73 per cent of all manufac. turing employment, they constitute only 3 per cent of. all corporations. The average work force in each of the plants is 203 people. Take out the obvious big auto, defence and electrical equipment plants, and the - average drops to 100. r eee In Japan, 69 per cent of all: manufacturing workers are employed by small and medium-sized independent © businesses. In the U.S. it is the big multi-plant corpo- rations that employ 73 per cent of all manufacturing workers; only 27 per cent work for owner-managers. e e * In other words, the majority of plants ope. rated by the largest U.S, fi would be classified , ass businesses if they were independently owned. 2 The phenomenon is duplicated in Canada. Yet ‘there aré no. inherent advantages to common ownership. . It _ confers neither efficiency nor economies of -scalé, but rather the artificial econo- mies that_come from power, prestige and con- trol of markets. eco Public, policy should be directed toward insuring that the advantages enjoyed by multiplant or conglomerate forms of en- terprise are equally avail. able to owner-managed For example, service bureaus can provide com- puter services; consortia of small firms can provide efficiencies in purchas- ing- or ‘in’. negotiating consulting services; trade economies in promotion, training and standardiza- tion; and special financial institutions can offset the natural bias of the capital markets, enterftises. institutions like the Cana-_ dian Federation of Inde- pendent. Business can provide the ~ collective political muscle. @ee The enterprising Japa- nese have also destroyed the North American myth that. bigness is needed to compete in export markets. later bingo was enjoyed.
