Your question isn't very well made.  Better in what way or ways.  Better than what?  Make some kind of definition.\n\nAs far as whether they are good for the American economy, I'll give you and unreserved, "Yes."  No economy can exist without small businesses.  The largest business could not exist without thousands of small businesses supplying it services and materials for its daily output.

It's good if you buy a product or service from the US.  It's bad if you sell a product or service to the US.  The film industry, for instance, is likely to experience a downturn, since the primary attraction for US film companies to shoot in Canada is the gain on exchange by paying for labour in Canadian dollars.  As the Canadian dollar strengthen, the gain decreases, so less work for Canadian film workers.

Everyone tends to get into your business.\n\nLarge families also are generally poorer than smaller ones because sprogs are a tremendous sucking drain on the wallet. The lack of funds is detrimental to health care and education in that family.

May be. But compared to USA far less

The success of retail mall shopping in the West esp. in the U.S. is largely due to the attitudes of U.S. consumers. This is not say that such venture would necessarily work in a smaller town where the population is smaller, disposable income maybe lower etc. You have to do market research in a particular area and see if such venture would work.\n\nThat said, I have seen some strip shopping centers and  open-air marts in some African countries and they are doing quiet well. Perhaps that is also something to look into.

Flexibility.  Small firms are able to adjust to market changes much quicker than larger firms that will require approval of committee or higher management to make changes.

Manufactureres prefer longer runs - because the set up time is a fixed cost - so more runs means that cost is apportioned off several runs so its incremental costs is less...a larger lot means again economies of scale\n\nretailers want the opposite they want small lots and frequent deliveries -why? smaller lots and frequent deleiveries mean the holding and warehousing cost is less for them plus since trends move fats they would rather holds less stock than more. Because at the end of the day - holding stock doesn't make money but moving stock (or selling it) does...\n\nSo both parties need to compromise on the level of deliveries and work out the best partnership that makes both parties benefit...because the retailer needs the manufacturer...

Lesser-Developed Countries

Its Macroeconomics... its cheaper to produce goods/ services in Mexico as it is a less developed country. \n\n In Mexican a worker gets paid 50 cents per hour (example), whereas in the USA a worker gets $15 an hour and they both do the same job and the same work at the same standard of quality. \n\nLarge corporations in the USA that compete on a global level have to realise the loss of money they have in wages, they move to less developed countries to gain a competitive advantage, so they can produce more of their product for less and hopefully sell it cheaper (not always.... Economies of Scale).\n\n A real life example is General Motors sacking thousands of workers this year that work in their USA manufacturing departments and planning to build a new plant in China.\n\n Giddy Up!!

Yes, there is a difference. US sizes are one size larger than UK. For example, medium in the US is small in the UK, UK large is US Xtra Large.. etc.

That would depend on the business type. Can you clarify?

24/7 seems to work.  You would be surprised if you checked the stats for agents such as WALMART in the USA, that because people work around the clock, they want to shop when they get off work.  I guess it really depends on what kind of store your talking about.  The downside is the higher cost of operation.  There has to be a demand for your products.  Check out an economics 101 book.

From the choices, it looks like A.  Decrease.\n\nWith lower margins (see monopoly versus perfect competition), the profits slim down over time and there's less room for individual growth even with the total size of the industry increasing.

Yes..It depends how active the stock is and if it is widely held.. Some very small stocks have very little volume..less buyers and sellers - therefore more time would be needed vs seconds for a larger stock.
