50-60 is a transition point for small businesses. That's the point at which it literally becomes impossible to be indifferent to process or structure.
Prior to that size companies can kind of get by on luck, skill, or the "heroic efforts" of individual contributors to carry them along. Once you hit 50 FTE that approach starts to fail more and fail harder. This is why tons of small businesses flame out when they hit this threshold.
