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.
