Big Organizations/Small Organizations

I have been observing different companies with regards to their atmosphere and I have noticed a very clear difference how things work in there. The way people communicate differs, they way they dress up differs, the way they get their work done differs, and of course they way they get paid differs. Why so many difference? And if these bigger companies can do this then why not smaller companies? And if smaller companies cant afford it then how to come up with something that would give the employees of smaller companies at least the look and feel of working in a respectful company.

I believe that the organizational culture is the major contributor to any issue of "respectability" or an appearance of professionalism. It does seem to correlate: the larger an organization, the more professional the structure and appearance. However, I think that respectability can be achieved in a smaller company if it is important. I also think that it is possible for a large company to have elements which appear less professional. But it may also be that the uniformity of personnel and appearance gives the illusion of professionalism.
