Economies of Scale vs Economies of Scope | Top Differences You Must Know - YouTube

Channel: WallStreetMojo

[11]
hello everyone welcome back to the channel of WallStreetmojo friends
[16]
today we are going to learn a topic a tutorial on economics of scale verse
[20]
economics of scope quite an interesting one well let's
[26]
begin economies of scale and economies of scope are both concepts of economics
[31]
and they both are very useful to a business that wants to grow and serves
[37]
its its customer better economies of scale happens basically all right scale
[45]
over here so that we know we can bifurcate things scale and scope
[51]
economies of scale basically happens when a company reaches a point of
[55]
production where the cost of the production cop is no longer or it's no
[60]
longer increasingly or increases and other than that it decreases or it
[64]
reduces and it happens only in the bulk production whereas economies of scope on
[72]
the other hand happens when a company produces variety of products due to
[78]
producing varieties of products the cost of production gets reduced so when we
[85]
talk about scale are being applied in a business for a very long time it's
[95]
applied for very long time well if we talk about the scope is comparatively
[100]
new approach in business economics and strategy so in this tutorial we'll go
[104]
through each of this concepts in detail and we'll do a comparative analysis
[109]
between the same so let's understand this with the help of infographics and
[114]
get into the nitty-gritty of the same know the key differences the meaning
[120]
that's the first one it saves the cost of production right the cost to produce
[125]
any material beyond a certain points over here on the other hand if we talk
[131]
about the scope it saves the cost of production if company produces varieties
[136]
of production so if there's a diversification of the product then it
[139]
saves the cost of production right meaning is done the second point of
[144]
differentiation is reduces the cost of one product and reduces the cost of
[150]
multiple product because there is diversified product over here then there
[155]
in then and then only the cost can reduce as the name itself suggests this
[159]
is scaling and this is a school third what this is all about
[165]
if we talk about the skin it is producing one type of product in bulk
[169]
but in this case producing multiple products under a same operation so there
[176]
are multiple products but operating under a one single window now fourth
[181]
point of differentiation is reduction due to bulk production what is a driver
[186]
that is helping to reduce the cost of production it is the bulk production and
[190]
over here is the varieties of production varieties of production means multiple
[195]
products which have been used so that reduces the cost of production these are
[199]
the two drivers right now the fifth point it it is relatively the old
[206]
concept and this is the new concept and this is used basically everywhere and it
[212]
is being recently used by the businesses so this is a basically the new concept
[216]
that has been introduced in the market now what is the strategy behind this
[220]
particular thing standardization of the product and over here diversification
[225]
just what I told you at the very start starting stage of the infographic
[230]
so here there is a standardization and over here there's a diversification that
[235]
means expanding the horizons in terms of products right now what is exactly the
[240]
importance or the use of this tool so if we talk about the scope a huge amount of
[247]
resources since the production happens in bulk a huge amount of resources since
[253]
the production happens in bulk and over here in case of this is a scale
[258]
and this is scope so a lot of less resources because under one operation
[262]
that is under one window multiple products up in produced now let's take
[267]
an example on the same production of one type of smartphones is a in huge
[271]
quantities but when we talk about over here in terms of scope production of
[275]
multiple food items by using the same resources with the help of milk you are
[281]
producing cheese mozarella and so on and so forth so this is
[286]
basically the example for both the scenarios now let's understand what are
[291]
the key differences that goes in when we talk about scope and scale okay let's
[297]
begin on the same economies of scale is all about
[300]
basically increasing you can say increasing the units of production okay
[311]
this is what we are talking over here and economies of scope is basically we
[317]
are all talking about over here of increasing that is addition or
[321]
increasing in the varieties this is very important point increase in the
[327]
varieties second point of important different differentiation economies of
[332]
scale help a company look at the average average basically the average cost per
[340]
unit and then gradually increases the quantity till the average cost of per
[348]
unit it reaches its minimum economies of scope are all about utilizing the infra
[355]
infrastructure it's all about using the infra infrastructure and and basically
[366]
to reduce the average cost per unit the third point of different
[371]
differentiation economies of scale depends more on the production capacity
[377]
so this is relevant in production capacity of one product when we talk
[384]
about the scope economies of scope depends more on the infrastructure of
[388]
the company to produce multiple products under one head fourth point of
[395]
differentiation this is some of the important points economies of scale is
[399]
relatively basically the old concept that we have just learned and economies
[404]
of scope is basically a new concept you can see over here what we learned as
[410]
standardization and we hear as diversification so you can tell me
[418]
horizon of scope is more over here or in scope Rezanov scope is more horizon or
[423]
for diversification or horizon of expansion is more in terms of scope
[428]
rather than in terms of scale so based on this we can make some final
[433]
conclusion we can sum this up what we discussed as meaning what it reduces to
[440]
I mean what reduces the cost then what it is all about then we discussed what
[448]
reduction what is the reason behind which this is getting reduced the cost
[453]
of production because of the bulk or the varieties in production and so on and so
[457]
forth so let me recapitulate the whole thing make a finding conclusion on this
[461]
as a business understanding and using both of this can be beneficial but it it
[466]
is better that a business use these two things prudently very important now you
[474]
need to know where to use economies of scale and where to use economies of
[478]
scope so if you are already selling let's say 5 products under a head of
[484]
your company trying to achieve economies of scale is an a sagacious decision
[489]
instead in that case if you go for economies of scope it would be much more
[494]
wiser at the same time if you know that as a
[498]
company your core strength lies in producing just let's say one product
[504]
okay and going for economies of scope to reduce the average cost per unit isn't a
[510]
prudent one so you need to know when and you need to know what thank you everyone
