Small Business
The small business means a business
revolution. Most brick-and-mortar companies are destined to be downsizing because they have too much expensive cost-structures and little flexibilities in their controlling various risks. Besides, market needs are changing very fast these days. They cannot cope with the situation unless they downsize their businesses. While small businesses are more flexible to fit in their changing environment and market needs. What is more important is that the development of the Internet and e-mail system gives more advantagies to small-business owners and entrepreneurs. Anyone who has good ideas and creativities can easily form new businesses without higher investment money. In near future, most huge established-companies would be disappearing and most of the businesses in the world would be small businesses. It could be a business revolution worldwide.

Small-business owners have advantages in developing new growth products and services. Huge established-companies are likely to ignore potential growth markets, which seem to be small and unprofitable at first. They are mostly destined to disappeare, if they could not develop new growth products and services. In addition, economies of scale could no longer work because of recent rapid, market-changes. While small business owners and entrepreneurs can fully show their creativities and link worldwide searching for their ideas, resources and customers through the Internet. From this stand point, I think that all businesses will be downsizing to optimal small-sizes. The small business would be a mainstream business style in near future.
