Specialisation
Self-sufficiency is where people try to meet their own wants and needs without producing a surplus to trade. Specialisation is when individuals, regions or countries concentrate on making one product to create a surplus to be traded.
Division of Labour
Division of labour means the specialization of the functions and roles involved in making the separate parts of a product. It is closely tied to the standardization of production, the introduction and perfection of machinery, and the development of large-scale industry. As a result of mass-production techniques, total production is many times what it would be had each worker made the complete product. Problems created by the division of labour include job monotony, technological unemployment, and eventually chronic unemployment if the economy does not expand quickly enough to reabsorb the displaced labour.
