  What can the government do to prevent the inflation? - what policies are there? monetary and fiscal but in this case monetary policy is the one to change the interest rates. --> however, this can lead to an increase in unemployment rate. WHY?

reduce costs and streamline the organization
- Emily Hoshi on 01 Jun 12
  
  I assume this section is saying that they are trying to reduce costs of production and increase efficiency. However, in most cases if a firm tries to lower the price they would lose customers due to price war between other firms that produce homogenous goods so it would be risky to change prices when its oligopoly. Although, their main aim is to recover its business so they are trying to cut many workers, reduce costs and increase efficiency.

redirecting company resources into new growth areas
- Emily Hoshi on 01 Jun 12
  
  I assume that "new growth areas" is to move the company to a more rural area because having a business at a city has a high land cost where rural areas can be much cheaper therefore, this can benefit the firm by having the cost curves to shift outward.
