Consider that the prevailing service you offer is teaching
individuals in Mexico to speak English, and your business has
already created some supplemental pamphlets and CDs that translate
common Spanish terms into English. How could you expand your
business in a manner that may allow you to benefit from economies
of scale (and perhaps even benefit from your existing business
reputation)? When you attempt to benefit from economies of scale,
do you forgo diversification benefits? Explain.
How would you come to a decision on whether to pursue business
expansion that capitalizes on economies of scale even if it would
forgo diversification benefits? Do you think economies of scale
would be more important or less important than diversification for
your business?
Is there any way to achieve economies of scale and yet still
achieve diversification benefits?
