Or the staff to give them a mentor or trainer. The other thing is that it isn't universally true that all people from big companies have a hard time. If you can find somebody who was an "intraprenuer" somewhere I think they will adapt easily.

They often need a trainer to teach them anything new. There are times when it is nice to have a specialist. However, the majority of the time, simply give me someone who is willing to get their hands dirty figuring out how to do something and I will show you a valuable employee.
