They get other types of clients that they can handle. It would be impossible for a small firm to logistically audit a multi-billion dollar corporation. Not all companies can afford to spend $200,000 for a audit from the big 5. There are plenty of business for small agencies to go for. Imagine if every software company just gave up because Microsoft is so big. Or an Intel. Or an IBM. mike gil - --- Tim Atherton <tim@KairosPhoto.com> wrote: > > Why don't the displaced photographers form their > own association and go > > after the business of their former employer? > > > > In other service professions that is what happens. > > > > Lawyers do this when separated from their law firm > as do CPAs, architects, > > engineers and others. > > > > PS - most law firms or architects offices aren't > taken over by multi-million > dollar backed businesses who have already bought up > 2/3 of their > competitors... > > As a CPA, imagine trying to get business where there > or 6 or 20 of you > banded together trying to compete against two other > businesses who now > control the employment or skills of say 70% and > growing of the rest of the > CPA's in the country, having bought up all those > other firms/offices. > > (it's not an exact analogy, because a photographer > is used for both his > present skills, but more immediately, his worth is > in fact the inventory of > his images the agency holds). > > tim a > > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
