A lovely short video that deals with production methods, economies of scale and innovation, and so is equally applicable to here. It shows how mechanisation allows Papa Johns to produce its dough balls and might get you thinking about its costs of production relative to their final sales price.

However, equally, you might also think about motivation - do you think that working on the dough ball production line lends itself to having motivated employees? So how might you go about motivating them? What techniques and what motivation theories could you apply?
