    I don't mind saying what I am thinking at the time I am in there. But it comes to a point so many post we are all saying the same thing in the end. Maybe that's good for the OP. Hearing it over and over. But I don't need to say it more then once.

    Yup, right! Yes, Bear, I had a debate about porn in November last year and Cats came to be of great help! :)

    The question here, is : "Do small firms have a role in modern business?"

    I tried on the net, found that they are 'crucial', not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for arguments that says small firms are 'insignificant' if you get what I mean.

    Shazzy was here a couple of hours ago; Red was here yesterday, the last time I saw her.

    That's going to be a herd point to prove in my opinion Unky. In the US there are a significant number of small companies that have pretty much come to be the backbone of this economy.

    Good, I haven't seen them and when my computer was down and I came back there were way too many posts to go through.

    Yes, I know, and I guess that's why I'm having a hard time to argue that point. And me being a science student and not an economics one doesn't make things any better :(

    Red has gone for a haircut (no I'm not spying on her she mentioned it on Facebook earlier :rolleyes:)

    Shaz has been around, I've seen her in the 'pictures of our pets' thread, or the most recent one anyway, with some brilliant and funny pictures I might add :)

    I just don't see any way the that side can be advanced Unky. Unless you take a few specific firms and deal with them on a particular point. I. E. polluting the environment, etc.

    See you guys a little later, I am going to start taking down the outside Christmas decorations and boxing them up. I have some help coming in about an hour so I have to get the boxes ready.

    I think my teacher gave something really difficult, not thinking about the to opposite sides... Maybe that's an essay intended to be one-sided? Anyway, I'm adding the environmental effects on my list. Thanks Stringer! :)

    You will probably have to approach it from the "innovativeness" and "growth" point of view. Small businesses like mine are not very innovative, we concentrate on quality rather than quantity. Small businesses like that tend to grow slowly but steadily.

    Innovative businesses can grow very fast and get very very big. McDonald's and Wal-mart come to mind as examples. They can change the entire face of business.

    How's that for a thesis?

    Hmm, if I understand, I need to say for example, "there are firms that cannot have their place in modern business because they do not innovate. Larger firms tend to evolve faster, adjust to the changing world better and have a larger impact on the ever changing society."

    Aww, I'm not good at all with economics. Never been my favourite subject :(

    I don't know about "cannot" have a place. Their place is not very significant due to their lack of impact on the business paradigm, yet they are important in both maintaining quality and improving volume. Don't fall into the trap of equating significance with importance.

    The innovative ones also go bankrupt very spectacularly.
