An office management firm has developed a system for efficiently organizing small medical and dental practices both through proprietary software and through unique training programs for staff. It has recently acquired a firm specializing in providing management services for veterinary practices. The office management firm is hoping to: a. achieve financial economies through an unrelated acquisition. b. implement vertical integration. c. achieve economies of scope. d. acquire specialized talent from the veterinary management company.

C. Achieve economies of Scope.
