production economies and platforms Explanation: 1) it would appear that the adj "produttive" modifies both nouns, otherwise it would have been placed differently ("piattaforme produttive ed economie") 2) economies in the microeconomic sense (as in "production economies of scale") -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2009-04-18 09:52:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/economy http://journals.cambridge.org/download.php?file=/JAZ/JAZ1_61... Have a nice weekend! :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 days (2009-04-25 18:00:38 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hi - glad to have been of help, and, actually, to tell the truth, I don't like "platforms" either! So if your context supported "systems", all the better! :) ...and have a great weekend! Karina |
