To adapt quickly is when small businesses begin to hire new employees and of the most recent five years they have been adapting rapidly. “in fact, in recent years, small businesses have employed more than half of all private-sector employees and generated 60 to 80 percent of new jobs. Small firms have produced thirteen to fourteen more times more patents per employee than large firms and generated more than half of the annual growth domestic product” (Sered, Fernandopulle 115). Smaller firms can grow faster due to this rapid adaptability and continue to grow faster than larger firms. It takes a while for a larger firm to try and change its approach because it has to cancel all marketing schemes worldwide and that could cost more money than it would bring in, with small businesses it would not take much to adapt the outlook of your business to fit what is working financially. “Smaller firms are found to grow faster than their larger counterparts. Differences in investment and research and development outlays explain the superior job creation performance by smaller firms” (Zoltan 41).

1. A key point in taking a company international is arbitrage or taking advantage of a price difference. Take for instance Samsung in China. They are dominating the market against their rival Apple 3-1. Apple introduced a cheaper international version of the iPhone in response but is losing its high-end market to Samsung. Samsung mobile devices are the first choice among corporate executives. Also, politically, Chinese officials are familiar with Samsung products with a committee following its moves.

In light of the significance of small business to the economy, it should be a grave concern when a third of small business owners rate the overall health of the United States economy as their biggest worry, rating higher than terrorism, the war on Iraq or healthcare costs.

We underestimate the importance of even the smallest of businesses, from the local grocery stores we buy our milk and eggs at, to the mom and pop shops that litter the avenues and boulevards of our small towns, catering to the communities that support them. Small businesses are all around us, they encapsulate our everyday lives. We all have personal experiences with them; perhaps we are related to the owner, worked at one, or just frequent a specific one often enough to be considered a regular. But I like to consider myself to have a relationship with small business that the average person doesn’t have:
