What is an example of a firm which, one might argue, is experiencing either (a) economies of scale, or alternatively

(b) diseconomies of scale. What are the advantages or disadvantages the firm in question seems to receive when its scale of operations increases, what are the effects of these things, and why do you think they occur? Make sure you are explicit in your answer about the time period (short term or long term) during which economies or diseconomies of scale appear, explain what economies or diseconomies of scale are, and suggest a reason why one or another of them might be occurring.

Do a web search at www.google.com (or any other search engine) for the websites of two corporations from two different industries of your choice that have not been researched by another student and discuss the likely sources of the economies of scale that underlie their large size. Note that the question is asking you 'how' the firm achieved economies of scale - please review the concepts in the text and apply e.g., specialized capital, etc. - this question is not asking for a 'snapshot' of current operations. Ensure you provide links to your references for full credit.
