美国一家民间企业协会一项调查结果表明,他们一直跟踪观察的100家2000年初成立的小企业,到2003年底只有不到30%还存在,其他的要么倒闭了,要么被兼并了。2001年,美国小企业局估计每四家小公司中只有一家在建立五年后仍然开业,不论它们是否赢利。还有报道说,外国企业的平均寿命是30年,而我国企业的平均寿命还不到5年。 According to a survey conducted by a private American business association in the United States, 100 small enterprises established in early 2000 that they have been following and observing, only less than 30% remained by the end of 2003. Others either closed down or were annexed. In 2001, the US Small Business Bureau estimated that only one of every four small companies would still be open five years after its establishment, regardless of whether they were profitable or not. There are also reports that the average life expectancy of foreign companies is 30 years, while the average life expectancy of Chinese enterprises is less than 5 years.
