The advantages of scale usually accrue from relative reduction in overheads or from mass production capability. For example, if a freelancer took on a full-time secretary or bookkeeper, it would increase his/her overheads considerably, but if that employee could serve 10 translators (in an agency, for example), the investment would justified.

Two examples come to mind regarding the benefits of scale, both of which embed the idea of “network effects.” The first is in packet networking equipment, which has seen massive growth since the emergence of Ethernet. Such a market should support a large number of vendors across its various market segments, especially with the presence of standards. However, despite billions spent over the last decade on large- scale core routing startups, there are essentially only two vendors in that market. Their market shares shift a bit over time based on product introductions, but the ability of a third vendor to gain share against them seems limited. The second is an example of the strength of a presence in related markets. In the Web browser market, Microsoft has a 90 percent share, despite numerous security issues and a paucity of new features in recent years. Microsoft’s installed base in operating systems and its strategic deep integration of the browser have prevented any significant erosion until this year.

It is of great importance for automobile companies to achieve benefits of scale in the development of new products because of the high costs involved. During the 1990s the probability of achieving benefits of scale, in order to make the needed savings, has changed dramatically. Model volumes have dropped, resulting in difficulties in obtaining economies of scale within the company limits. This change, together with the already high and still growing costs involved in the development of new technology, has forced the industry to form strategic alliances and acquire or merge with competitors to be able to develop models and brands as derivatives of product platforms and thereby achieve cost-effective solutions.
