A clear difference exists between working for a corporation and a more minor team. The complex systems built to support 1.6 million employees look very different from the one for 6 employees.
When choosing to work for a corporation, security, resources (better pay and benefits), and personal growth are the top reasons people consider.
When choosing to work for small businesses, the top three considerations that people often have are: learning different aspects of the business, having the opportunity to advance in their career, and having the flexibility to make things work.
When choosing schools for children, the top three factors that parents from traditional public schools have shown are different from those in charter public schools. In traditional public schools, the top 3 factors that parents care about are location, socialization or a child's peers, and being in the neighborhood school. For parents in charter public schools, the top 3 factors people consider are academic reputation and safety, followed by character and values.
Our choice of systems shows our understanding of them, even the invisible.
