Explanation:

Large scale manufacturing involves a large market, various raw materials, enormous energy, specialised workers, advanced technology, assembly-line mass production and large capital. This kind of manufacturing developed in the last 200 years, in the United Kingdom, north-eastern U.S.A. and Europe. Now it has diffused to almost all over the world. Modern manufacturing is characterised by: (i) a complex machine technology (ii) extreme specialisation and division of labour for producing more goods with less effort, and low costs (iii) vast capital (iv) large organisations (v) executive bureaucracy
