You are right. It is common practice now for Large corporations to come in and work with small business on mentor programs. Usually companies they are dealing with in a product. I work in an area that deals with both Fortune 500 companies, and small business. I work with a team that monitors development of products. You would be amazed that the attitude with some of my very own team members, when they work with small business. They throw out words of "corrupt", "lying", "gouging", etc. etc. without stepping back and seeing that one man is having to do all the tasks that the big companies we deal with have whole staffs. I've seen some of my own people write letters to the companies that this small business is trying to deal contracts with. Telling them of the "financial" trouble this company is in. Its all a game of trying to make the CEO of the small business meet their demands on getting information. Then the CEO has to spend all his time calling these businesses and try and explain his situation. "My folks" could have solved the problem by just sitting down with this CEO and working out a plan of action. But then they would not have gotten all the visibility of writing their "poison pen" letters. I know what these small business CEOs have to go through, and many of them are "techs", and struggle with all the other CRAP that keeps getting in the way of the deveopment of their product. So i've seen the situation that the 'Joes" of the world have to struggle with. You can percieve this two ways, one of total deceit, or one of a CEO, thats from a tech background, trying to do all the other "paperwork" routines to keep his company going.
