Since it is nature, it can be changed or altered until and unless small fish engage in contingency planning and hedge themselves against the big fish. Similar situation is faced by the corporate world of the modern world. Small scale businesses are exposed a great deal of threat from large scale businesses, who enjoy economies of scale and mass customization. When comparing the scale of operations, large scale businesses and small scale businesses lie on two extreme ends. However this does not mean that chances of survival for small scale businesses are slim.
There are several businesses that operate on a small level and are able to generate a decent profit. The reason why these businesses are able to survive and sustain is because they engage in contingency planning. Under contingency planning businesses formulate and then regulate a backup plan for any situation that could result in the disruption of the business activity. One of the most common kind of such a problem is system failure or virus attack. When either of the two things happens, businesses lose their important data, which causes temporary to permanent damage to businesses depending upon the intensity of information disaster.
