The Decline of Small Businesses

During the recent years, countless small busines seshave closed their doors and gone bankrupt. Thecorne r grocer's , the small dress shop, the beautysalon, all are victims of market competition. Most ofthem are replaced by other small businesses thattemporarily fill the needs of the neighbourhood butfrequently end up, sharing the same fate ofdissolution. More often, the market served by smallbusinesses is taken over by large stores and shops.Businesses like the corner groceries and the dress shops have gone to big department storesand supermarkets, which not only keep adequate store and variety, but also provide betterenvironment and service.

Appar ently, it is increasingly difficult for small businesses to succeed in the present complexeconomic structure based, as it is, on small profit margins and tremendou s sales volume. Lackof enough fund and poor management may be the chief cause of this tragedy. In addition, thequality of their commodities often causes suspicion of the customers as many smallbusinesses are found to sell fake products for more profit, thus earning themselves an evilreputation. As to shopping environment and convenient service, they are unmentionable. Allof the above speed up their bankruptcy.

Today, with the establishment of more and more groups and big corporations, how smallbusinesses can survive in the tide of the market competitive economy has become a hotsocial issue.
