Answer to Question 1

Firms could enhance the amenities associated with offered positions. For example, they could provide tuition incentives, vacation time, personal time, and health or dental benefits.

Answer to Question 2

A firm's vertical scope is determined by the costs of transacting in markets versus the costs of transferring goods or services between parts of the organization. These include the costs of coordinating volume flows of goods-in-process and organizing coordinated responses to uncertainty.
