a company with $100K in annual revenue that doubled from last year is more positive than one with $20M that shrank by 20%

I would expect that more than a predisposition to react to directional changes over absolute amounts, such a reaction would be due to individuals within the organization being concerned with their own personal fate. Being one out of two or three in a company with annual revenue of $100k that's doubling every year puts you personally in a very good position. Being one of 250 in a $20M organization that is shrinking by 20% annually...not so much.
