For example, the individual organisations might explain why many firms opt for an expansionist policy in times of recession.

Among the three firms which were shortlisted to submit proposals, two firms opted for concrete bridge and one for steel bridge.

A firm could make substantial changes in production processes but opt not to leverage them by positioning itself as an environmental leader.

Large firms may opt for Joint R&D or work in a consortium for the early phase of development.

Such actions have been successful largely because firms have opted to settle out of court.

Organisational slack occurs when firms opt to employ more resources than are needed to produce a given level of output.

Some firms may opt for a straight cut-over; one day the old product will be coming off the production line, and the next day the new product.

However, if, as expected, most firms opt for thinner units, then it still does not address the issue of shattered screens.

So you might think few firms would opt for the formal route.

Some American firms also opted to incentivize workers by paying small wages or by negotiating early expiration of indentures.
