Geoff Riley

30th March 2008

Share this content:

The growth of businesses is related to several other topics at A2 level – including:

Economies of scale and scope Development of monopoly power in markets Different objectives of businesses e.g. growth max rather than pure profit max The role of profit in allocating scarce resources Competition policy and economic welfare – market power issues

This 3 page revision note looks at why firms grow and how they grow with lots of recent examples to supplement your notes. There are no analysis diagrams in this revision note - but do think about which diagrams you might be able to use.
