Concept Introduction:

Profitability of a Firm:

There are several factors on which the profitability of a firm depends:

  • Innovation: In this competitive world this is one of the most important aspect to guarantee success as well as a name in the market. Providing a new addition in the product attracts the customers.
  • Brand Name: It is just a name owned by a firm which distinguishes it from other firms. If a company gets a brand name, then the profitability is easy to ensure.
  • Product Differentiation: This is one of the most important features of monopolistic competition. The product of the sellers is differentiated but are close substitutes of one another. It can be real or artificial. The demand curve monopolistic firms face is an elastic demand curve.
