ECON 545 Week 2 DQ 2 Controlling Costs FOR MORE
CLASSES VISIT www.econ545tutor.com Name some of
the ways firms attempt to control their costs.
How does your firm control costs? The key here in
keeping this question interesting is that
reducing the workforce or having one person do
the work of three people are not the only ways to
control costs. I'm looking for more creative
ways. Maybe you can think of some that your firm
is not currently using. Be creative here.
