一、小企业现状几乎无论用哪种方法计算,在美国企业中,小企业都明显占压倒多数。例如,如果我们把小企业定义为:所有经营者与合作者的年总销售额大于5000美元,且公司雇员少于100人的企业,1978年有940万个企业可以称为小企业。当时美国企业界中,得到承认的企业共有1,470万个。如果我们从企业总数中减去530万个非全年营业的企业,那么这940万个小企业估计占美国全年营业企业总数的98%。 First, the status quo of small businesses almost no matter what kind of method to calculate, in the United States, small businesses are obviously overwhelming majority. For example, if we define small businesses as: All managers and collaborators whose annual sales exceed $5,000, and companies have fewer than 100 employees, in 1978 there were 9.4 million businesses that could be called small businesses. At that time, there were 14.7 million companies recognized in the American business community. If we subtract 5.3 million non-annual businesses from the total number of companies, then these 9.4 million small businesses are estimated to account for 98% of the total US business operations.
