By the 1980s smaller companies had become less rather than more profitable than larger ones’ according to Andy Cosh and Alan Hughes (‘Size, financial structure and profitability: UK companies in the 1980s’, in HUGHES & STOREY 1994). This apparent sea change in the relative profitability of at least small and large manufacturing firms, as found by the Bolton Committee and later confirmed by the Wilson Committee (1979), is mirrored in the well-known and more recent break in the persistent tendency for small quoted companies to outperform their larger brethren, as well as other data, but no satisfactory explanation has been advanced for it.

4 BERLE & MEANS (1932), published at the time Schumpeter moved from Germany to the United States, were the first to document fully the concentration of economic power into big firms. This process had been going on for a long time, and with it a decline of proprietary capitalism which they labelled the ‘separation of ownership and control’. Berle & Means showed that American industry was increasingly owned by pension funds and other financial institutions, it was being run not by owners but by salaried managers who owned a negligible proportion of the equity.

Given the greater capital intensity of large firms we should expect their returns on assets to be higher, but it may be that small firms are becoming more capital-intensive (there is some evidence of this for the service sector). Nevertheless this still leaves the question of the relative risk faced by the two. This risk is higher for small firms, as we demonstrate later. Theory suggests that higher risk should be compensated for by higher returns. MOSKOWITZ & VISSING (2002) make this point and comment that ‘the majority of household investment in private companies is concentrated in a single, risky, privately-held firm in which the household has an active management interest’.
