Rosette: the podcast

Today, Lia chats about economy of scale (also called economies of scale) and what it might look like in practice. She covers ways in which being a large business gives you a leg up, and how the big fish exploit that even further. If you aren't convinced to support small businesses after this episode, we're pretty sure this isn't the podcast for you. Just saying!RESOURCESMegaCorp podcast by Jake Hanrahan: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/megacorp/id1596777564Follow us on our socials @rosettenetwork (FB, Insta, Twitter, etc.).Please send feedback, requests and questions to podcast@rosettenetwork.com.
