availabe – there were few choices (brand, color, style, options)
Now the choices for most goods is wide open.

United States Foreign goods – made by firms in other
countries

Achieving Efficiency
Measured by output – the quantity produced within a given day.
Frito Lay bags 4000 bags of chips in an hour. Productivity – producing the largest
quantity in the least amount of time by using efficient methods and modern equipment.
Workers are more productive when the have the right equipment and have been well-trained.
Manufacturing firms

Efficiency Achieved Three Ways Specialization of effort
Workers become specialized in the skills for work performed
When workers specialize, they become expert in assigned tasks.
Better technology and innovation Better-quality good services are built at a faster
pace and often at a lower cost. Improved materials last longer, worker faster Innovation refers to the development of new ideas,
products and processes. Reorganizations
Most difficult

Mass Production
Using up-to-date equipment and assembly line methods to produce large quantities of identical goods.
Cost of goods manufactured decreases because it is possible to produce more items in less time.
Computer and robots help increase production with fewer workers.
![Page 26: BUSINESS PRINCIPLES AND MANAGEMENT Chapter 1 Characteristics of Business.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ee75503460f94bf7cbb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reorganization
When growth or production slows down, companies have to reorganize and evaluate what they are doing.
From 1970-90 there was slow growth due partly to competition from industrialized nations.
Downsize, cutting back workers and goods produced
by laying off workers dropping unprofitable products or selling them to
other firms Increasing technology
Companies cut costs Still better ways to compete with foreign
firms existed.

businesses operate.

GDP

and housing. What businesses spend for buildings,
equipment and supplies. What government agencies spend to pay
employees and to buy supplies.

GDP
While GDP measures the countries economic growth, it tells us very little about the economic worth of individuals.
Productivity – number of items produced per worker
Improvements in capital resources, worker training and management techniques have resulted in more output by workers.
More productivity = great GDP
