Bigger A in’t
Better Anymore
IX) you remember when bigger was
better? We lived in bigger houses,
drove bigger cars and enjoyed bigger
meals.
Those were the days when we pro
moted the United Nations and NATO
and watched the USSR tighten its cen
tral control. We saw the United States
get bigger and bigger in our lives with
the new deal, “ Ask not what your na
tion can do for you, ask what you can
do for your nation,” and a whole suc
cession of buzz words.
Little corporations grew to multina
tionals and cities across the country
grew to megalopolises.
Bigger was better and consolidations, mergers, and growth through ab
sorption was the order of the day. While there was some idea that bigger
came about by internal growth, most of the bigger came from swallowing
up the smaller.
And everyone was on the band wagon. Every retail merchant hoped
against hope for the day he could sell out to the big chain, because that s
where all the folks wanted to shop. Working men and women dreamed
for the day they could get on with the biggest town around and they all
went to the biggest 4th of July celebration they could find.
Well, we’ve seen other instances of the swinging pendulum and now
it looks like bigger is not necessarily better anymore. The Soviet Union
is falling apart. NATO is on the skids, the U.S. Supreme Court is shifting
more and more power back to the States, and every little splinter group
is breaking away to form a new organization of one kind or another.
Big organized churches are giving way to the independent locals, big
organized political parties are seeing splinters drop like flies, more and
more shoppers are looking for mom and pop specialty shops and folks are
looking for a quaint cottage in the country.
Oh, to be sure, the shift is not complete, McDonald’s still serves billions
of burgers and K-Mart still sells millions of the same pattern dress.
But the trend is set and there are more and more examples.
Like East Central Oregon Association of Counties (ECOAC). Original
ly organized to provide specialized development and planning services,
ECOAC went through that bigger is better movement and took on the Area
Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
for consolidated administration purposes.
Now that there’s a little administrative friction, we hear such inane
statements as “ ECOAC has done a good job, but we (AAA) should break
away." No one has advanced a significant criticism of ECOAC in the man
ner in which it has administered the AAA or JTPA programs. Nevertheless
folks now say that social programs are incompatible with economic
development.
It’s all part of that current perception that a small, very specialized
organization is better than a large, multi-faceted one. There’s no real pro
of of that, of course, it’s just a perception that is beginning to gain the
attention of folks the world over.
The old theory about economics of scale are lost in today’s mood about
doing one's own thing. Some administration costs are the same no matter
how big or small the organization is. That means two organizations will
double those costs over one organization. But then fewei and fewer folks
have even heard of Adam Smith, much less studied his theories of
economics.
As I see it, the split up o f ECOAC will be a mistake, from the point
of view of efficient delivery of services. That’s true whether its social ser
vices for the aged or development services for private industry. But given
the current trend toward “ small and specialized is better” ECOAC should
be dismantled immediately. Doubling the administrative cost (at the ex
pense of providing service) is worth the peace both sides would gain.
The factions should go their own way, so each can get on with going
their own way.
