Expanding A Business
Muhtasari
A bakery that makes 200 loaves a day and a bakery that makes 20,000 do not simply differ in size. The larger one buys flour by the tonne at a price the smaller one will never be offered, runs an oven the smaller one could never fill, and spreads the cost of its accountant across a hundred times as many loaves. That is why growth is worth chasing. It is also why the larger bakery has three layers of management, a communication problem and staff who have never met the owner.
In this lesson you will learn the ways a business can get bigger, from opening new outlets and selling online to franchising, outsourcing, mergers and takeovers, and the arguments for and against each. You will learn what economies of scale actually are, with the two the specification names in particular, and what diseconomies of scale are and why they set in. And you will learn to calculate average unit cost, which is the number that turns the whole argument from an opinion into arithmetic.
