Avoid large scale. Small scale, local enterprises are preferable to large scale, global enterprises. It was once the large that ate the small. No Longer. Dinosaurs have long since been displaced by smaller, more adaptable mammals. Break apart integrated, large scale, global enterprises, into discrete, small scale, local enterprises. Concentrate power in local enterprises. Munich cannot manage Detroit. A hummingbird will easily chase off a hawk 100 times its size... not because its size or strength, but because of its superior maneuverability. Don’t believe financial machinations justifying large scale efficiencies. In real life they most frequently presage the decline of once successful companies.
