Thin1k Smal byJim Smiâh Pass It 0e The story was patently false. At first, everyone knew it was alie. By the second tellirnS, how- ever, it bad become a "ru- mour". On the third round, it was "reliably reported". And, after that, everyone knew that it was the truth. Tell a story zo even the most outrageous lie - often enough and it eventually ail, in a global economy and any goup of firmnswhjch fail to compete for international 1 For many years, the small business comrnunit.y has been claiming that- it does pursue export mnarkets vigorously while big business has been arguing that .only large-scale firns are capable of gett ing into foreigners' pocketb ooks. There bas neyer been any solid, evidence to support the dlaims by either side (ai- though, when you realize that- most big businesses in this country are subsidiaries of*multiniational firmns, it doesn't make niuch sense to imagine those big firms corn- peting with the head office for world markets). But a new study by Talaat Abdel-Malek of the University of Saskat- chewan has*finaliy cast' a sci- entific Iight on, the entire dis- pute. Abdel-Maiek.bas found- after su rveying large,'n'umbers of big and littie businesses - that. there is no si gnîficant ldifference between the ex- port attitudes of big business and those of smnall business. In fact, sMail business in Ca- nada is every bit as active in the export fieldsas are Cana-, dian big businesses.. If apything,,Abdel-Malèk's study Would seeni to fail-to take fu 1Il account of the role of the smailer -finms. A sur-' prisingly large* portion of the production by. small, manu- facturingfirms isdoue as sub-contracting on major contracts by big business. The big business assembles the components produced by the srnaller businesses and then exports the' final ýpro- duct. Even though the small firm's production is destined for the export market, it only counts as domestically-ori- ented for purposes of the survey. Time and again, our na- tion's economic counisellors have, advocated creation of more big businesses as the answer to Canada's interna- tional trade problenis. Abdel. Malek's study shows that, in- dustrial strategy to be quite intadequate. Discrimination against small firms cannot be justified by international trade considerations. A patentiy false story wil aiways remain patently false, no niatter how niany retel- Iings Iend it a veneer of "truth". 5mai! firms are as export-oriented as big irms. antidepressants and antihis- tamines may cause drasticai- l y increased blood pressure.
