This happens because an organization that produces multiple similar products can streamline its processes and equipment such that it cuts out costs that would have been incurred if the products were produced separately. For example using one equipment to produce a variety of products decreases production costs.

Similarly, multiple related businesses, considering their resources, can take advantage of available opportunities they present each other, and streamline activities along their value chains to reduce costs.
