Through the analysis of two ancient idioms, "shaking trees" and "throwing eggs at stones", it is concluded that the struggle of disparity in strength can only end in the failure of the weak, and this law is applied to today's economic life, and it is concluded that "small enterprises can only rely on large enterprises to become vassals of large enterprises if they want to survive". At first glance, I think the analysis is very reasonable.
First of all, the crystallization of ancient wisdom and the law of life summarized by predecessors in many idioms have their rationality and authority in a specific period, but they may not be suitable for the rapid development of today's society. This "takenism" is suspected of being abused and divorced from specific events. Moreover, the laws drawn by the ancients are also practical and subjective in today's "economic life". The economic life in ancient China was very simple and primitive. How can the law under this condition be unconditionally applied to today's economic society with increasingly globalized economic life?
Secondly, the advantages of large enterprises in capital, talents and technology are discussed. However, it failed to take into account the huge management costs, overlapping management levels, relatively low efficiency and the industry risks of "the ship is difficult to turn around" faced by large enterprises. The flexible management mechanism and efficient plane management can adjust their business direction in time, which is the advantage of small enterprises. From the perspective of comprehensive operating costs and risks, large and small enterprises have their own advantages and disadvantages. It is one-sided to only mention the advantages of large enterprises and completely ignore the advantages of small enterprises. As the saying goes, the feet are shorter and the inches are longer.
Third, the operation of large enterprises needs to bear high management costs. In the development of the industry, large enterprises cannot cover all scales. For some parts with relatively low profit margins, large enterprises may adopt the strategy of giving up, which is also an opportunity for some small enterprises to successfully intervene. It is the secret of the success of many small enterprises to make use of the blank space of large enterprises to develop themselves and become vassals of large enterprises. Production and operation are controlled by people, and survival and development should not be the choice of most small enterprises.
