单词 | diseconomies of scale |
释义 | diseconomies of scale A tendency for making an operation larger to decrease its average efficiency. At the level of the plant, this may arise from congestion, as more people or machines in the same locality get in each others' way. It may also be possible to dispose of small amounts of waste products without noticeable environmental damage, whereas large amounts require special and expensive disposal arrangements. At the level of the firm, which can have multiple plants, it is harder to see how diseconomies of scale can arise. Very large organizations may require many layers of management, increasing the mental and social distance between managers at the top and workers at the bottom, with adverse effects on mutual understanding and motivation.
