Willcousa, not only have I worked in lots of large and small organisations, but my jobs have been to deal with thousands of large and small, government and private enterprises [as an oil salesman and technical engineer] so I consider myself well qualified to comment. The inertia in big companies is very frustrating, but government enterprise is simply a joke. Small, private companies are the most crooked and polluting in their behaviour. Big ones tend to be much more legally compliant because the consequences are so serious for them; having the legal advisers helps too. Check out what happened to Texaco as an example of the huge cost of breaking the law for big companies. But small companies are the most creative and energetic. That's why small companies keep on coming! Big ones behave like L M Ericsson. The little ones with the new big ideas like QUALCOMM with CDMA keep on coming and taking over from them. It's a never-ending saga. Mqurice PS: WWeb EarCell[TM] hearing-aid to box-in-pocket cellphones were invented half a decade ago...
