Income Maximization & Diversification

The profit maximization theory is the principle that every firm should operate in order to make a profit.

Profitable companies can achieve this by selling more by charging higher prices for their goods or services and reducing production costs. They have the opportunity to do so because they have better access to more resources that other companies may not have.

There are many cases where the profit maximization theory has been put into practice successfully in the workforce and has resulted in people’s wages being increased.

In economics, the profit maximization theory asserts that a firm will select the course of action that results in the maximum profits. Profit maximization is also an economic principle which states that firms will select the course of action with the lowest costs for production, even if other alternatives may result in lower total costs or higher total benefits.

This theory helped economists understand how firms decide on what to produce, how much they produce, and what prices they charge for their products.

• Conglomerate Diversification – This involves expanding into completely unrelated markets or industries. For example, a company that manufactures cars could expand into the market for software development.
• Vertical Diversification – This type of diversification involves expanding into different stages of the production process or supply chain. For example, a company that manufactures coffee machines could expand into the market for coffee beans.
