Those with over 20 employees are considered respectable concerns, with firms having 100-20O workers being thought of as the elite. Yet such numbers pale in comparison with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel, with their 10,000-20,000-member workforces in Silicon Valley.
廿人以上的公司已算稍具規模，一、二百人的更是其中佼佼者；但在動輒數千，乃至一、二萬人的 IBM、惠普、英特爾等大公司林立的矽谷，都只能算「微企業」。這也形成了一項遠憂。
