I’m working on a economics discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
- Choose a company to use for this discussion. The company can be a U.S. firm, or a firm from any country that is easily researchable using Internet search engines. You may use the same company that you have used in previous discussions, or you may choose a different company.
- Using the web, familiarize yourself with the company (review their website as well as recent news about the company related to the company’s business operations, market share, or overall profitability).
- Explain the company that you have researched, and its business model (i.e. how it makes money).
- Think about the six (6) ways that firms can achieve economies of scale, and describe how to apply the following to the company in order to achieve economies of scale:
- Specialization: How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
- Division of labor: How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
- Advanced technology: How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
- Automation devices: How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
- Quantity discounts: How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
- Financial strength (credit): How can this be applied to your business specifically to achieve economies of scale?
