The studies are all based on economical principles only, even marketing. If later made ergonomic or any other classifications.

Even if they save in production of it, they will spend more in packing plus the retailer has to give more space on his shelves.
So such a saving will not give any extra gain. Shelves space is a very big problem in marketing in large modern super market environments.

Additionally the more they increase the number of packs..the more they spend on loading unloading plus transportation, this all will increase addtional costs of administration, port charges, customs..etc..etc.....

you got it wrong weone..ergonomics is one of the imporatant field manufactures would consider before launching their product..windows is a simple example ..nyways thats different story..
if in ur question if u ask for an ergonimocal reason i would have accpeted this answer..but you said its an economical reason in your question...and this is causing econimcal loss to manufacture as per you..so money is obviously not a 'reason' , its a 'result' of making it cylindrical..and that too a loss!

my dear...you are going too beyond...

the basic principles of any business is based on economics only.

there is no need to bring windows and ergonomics here.

economics is not just meant making profit.

before thinking of the profit that will study first how to make profit and what are the objectives and

hazzles in front of the marketing to gain that profit.

therefore the maufacturer will first consider the end user and his

convenience. ignoring the convenience of the end user and trying to save some

money in the packaging will finally brings the result of abandoning his product by

the customer. so he will decide even if to spend some more money in production

can save that from his increased volume of sales. this is the economical reason behind it.

hope clear to you now. eventually all this added cost will added to the price and we only be

paying it. But we don't care because we don't like the inconvenience of holding it at least for

five minutes in our hand with a rectangular shape.

QUESTION NO. 3

We all know Pappadam (Parppidakam or Pappad). It is an inevitable part of our Kerala style lunch.

When we fry the Pappdam in boiled oil it bubbles up.

What is the reason?

(No approximate answer to this question.)

ECONOMICS

The social science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services and with the theory and management of economies or economic systems.

ERGONOMICS

The scientific study of equipment design, as in office furniture or transportation seating, for the purpose of improving efficiency, comfort, or safety

Every application of an ergonomical need is always based on an economical need.

So the ergonomy naturally functions as a finished product evolved out from an economical factor.

Read the above definitions. Without having an economical need how applied an ergonomical need???????

That is why I said, first it is economical and later classified into ergonomics. Hope it is much more clear to everyone now. I put it here because the genuine doubt of Mithran may create some confusion to others.

Anyway thanks and congrats Mithran for making it more precise with your valuble arguement..
