I’m confused about the difference between internal and external economies. Could this be an internal diseconomy since it mentions shop floor hostility?

This reminds me of a practice question we did about how large firms can face higher costs due to inefficiencies. I think it’s definitely related to internal factors.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the answer might be B, since it talks about issues within the organization itself.

I remember discussing how internal diseconomies of scale can arise from management issues and employee dissatisfaction.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that the passage is describing how the large organization's size is leading to these issues, so it's an internal diseconomy of scale. The external factors like hostility are a result of the organization's size, not the cause. I'm feeling pretty confident about B.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. The passage mentions both senior management complacency and shop floor hostility, so I'm not sure if it's just an internal diseconomy or if there could be external factors at play as well. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This is a tricky one. The passage talks about both internal and external factors, so I'm not sure if it's just an internal diseconomy. I might need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand the distinction between the different types of economies and diseconomies of scale. I don't want to rush into an answer on this one.

This is a tough one, but I'm going to have to go with B) Internal diseconomy of scale. The description just seems to match up with that concept the best, even if it's a bit convoluted. Let's hope the graders are feeling generous!

But isn't shop floor hostility also a factor? Maybe it's a combination of internal and external diseconomies of scale.
