• Author: Abby Johnson
• The article was published in 'SmallBusinessNewz', on February 23, 2011

Purpose: This article outlines the differences in being involved in small and large businesses.

 We liked this article because:

• It was short and to the point
• It highlighted similarities between the first article, for example small business owners are responsible for all of the actions that the business takes
• There was a video that highlighted all of the main points in the news article

Similarities to Article #1:

• In a small business setting, each employee plays a greater role in the company- as mentioned earlier, this allows for opportunity
• Large business employees often don't get a say in the company and often do not have a sense of belonging
• Problems are dealt with immediately in a small business setting as noted in the news article, to help mitigate the issue
• They mentioned how small business owners are able to establish a personal relationship with customers and learning exactly what their needs are.
• Large businesses do not usually have the ability to build personal relationships with customers or have the ability to learn their needs.
