Economies of Scale

These occur when mass producing a good results in lower average cost. Economies of scale occur within an firm (internal) or within an industry (external).
Internal Economies of Scale

These are economies made within a firm as a result of mass production. As the firm produces more and more goods, so average cost begin to fall because of:

* Technical economies made in the actual production of the good. For example, large firms can use expensive machinery, intensively.
* Managerial economies made in the administration of a large firm by splitting up management jobs and employing specialist accountants, salesmen, etc.
* Financial economies made by borrowing money at lower rates of interest than smaller firms.
* Marketing economies made by spreading the high cost of advertising on television and in national newspapers, across a large level of output.
* Commercial economies made when buying supplies in bulk and therefore gaining a larger discount.
* Research and development economies made when developing new and better products.

External Economies of Scale

These are economies made outside the firm as a result of its location and occur when:

* A local skilled labour force is available.
* Specialist local back-up forms can supply parts or services.
* An area has a good transport network.
* An area has an excellent reputation for producing a particular good. For example, Sheffield is associated with steel.
