Dynamics Between Small and Large Projects

Abstract

In this chapter, we will investigate using analytic methods the roles of small and large projects in the development and evolution of a commercial company and why companies with a history of taking on large projects tend to eventually fail with large projects. From the point of view of the systemic yoyo model, this end seems to be quite clear. In particular, when a spinning yoyo focuses on taking in only smaller and weaker rotational fields, this specific yoyo will have a better chance to be long lasting and to grow with each acquisition of a smaller and weaker field than when it also takes in powerful rotational fields. On the other hand, when a spinning yoyo engages in conflicts only with same size or larger and stronger rotational fields, sooner or latter, this specific yoyo will have to face off with a much more powerful rotational field than it is. So, as soon as it faces with such a powerful field that is so powerful that it just simply destroys the specific spinning yoyo. For this end, please consult with Case Study 10.1 in Sect. 10.6 below.
