Studio: generally speaking, it refers to an organization established by several people or one person. It is a space for creative production and work, with various forms, most of which have the embryonic form of company model. Generally, there is no fund for enterprise registration, or groups with fewer employees often exist in the name of studios. The studios are generally small in scale, and the interests of members are equal, and most of them have no positions. Some studios have the position of director and all the staff in the command post. Everyone is responsible for what he should do, and most of the affairs of the studio can be discussed and decided by members.
Firm: a place where goods are traded. From Fan Wenlan, Cai Meibiao and other General History of China, Chapter 4, Chapter 1, Section 2: "From Kyoto to counties and towns in the Song Dynasty, merchants in the same trade were organized into' firms'."
Disadvantages of the studio
The service of the studio is too single, sometimes it can't systematically serve customers who require comprehensive services, and because of its low operating mode, it is sometimes difficult to have the ability to bear commercial risks.
The uneven service level of studios in various industries is also a common phenomenon. Moreover, all like-minded friends work together, and the time for mutual adaptation is much less, which is more conducive to rapid rise. However, funds and orders are always the bottleneck of development, because there is no ability to register a company, so orders are generally introduced by friends or small personal orders.
