How did the organization of production differ in serf and civilian factories? Why did this difference give advantages to civilian factories?
Work at serf factories:
1) Low quality of products.
2) It was not possible to introduce machine production, because the entrepreneur could not dismiss the serf worker, he was his property.
3) The entrepreneur had to support the serf worker, and not spend money on improving production.
4) Serfs did not want to work in factories, they often fled from them, which led to losses of the enterprise.
Work at civilian factories:
1) The quality of products is many times better than at serf enterprises, due to the better qualifications of hired workers.
2) An entrepreneur can introduce machine production and employ the required number of workers.
3) The salary of a hired worker was higher than that of a serf, which gave him motivation to fulfill his duties conscientiously.
