Smaller companies have much less people to manage making it simpler in a way but in other ways more crucial as individuals in smaller companies are more than likely in charge of a larger portion of the work required to complete a project compared to a larger company where an individual’s specific contribution is a smaller fraction of the total work. This would mean that with smaller companies managing things like communications is important because if anyone falls behind it could have a major impact on the projects time-frame, where in a larger company communication managing is a challenge with the sheer number of people that need to be communicated with. Both large and small companies have different advantages and disadvantages and need to be managed accordingly so that there are no wasted resources.
