2. Economic Theory 2.1 Oligopoly Oligopoly is a market structure in which a few firms dominate the market (Jocelyn Blink & Ian Dorton, 2012). The market may have a large number of firms or just a few, but the important idea is that the industry’s output is shared by a small number of firms. It is possible for oligopolistic industries to differ, in the sense that some industries would produce the same kind of products, where the product is practically the same and only the companies name is different

market structure is modelled on this aspect of rigidity. Such changes result in change of market shares and disrupt the co-ordinated functioning of the firms. However, this said, it is well known that power often determines the functioning of an oligopoly. Players which have influence and monetary worth can manipulate the working of the market in order to suit their needs thus making them price makers instead of price takers. Non-price factors: The rigidity in prices prevents any firm from increasing

Oligopoly is a market structure in which only a few sellers offer similar or identical products. It is an intermediate form of imperfect competition. OPEC is an epitome of Oligopoly. Features of Oligopoly: • Non Price Competition • Interdependent decision making • Entry Barriers If organizations behave in cooperative mode to mitigate the competitions amongst themselves it is called Collusion. When two or more organizations agree to set their outputs or prices to maintain monopoly it is called

It's called an oligopoly. It's not a regular market... It's a market in which they control the prices and they've been doing it for years. Richard Miller The quote above explains the characteristics of an oligopoly in comparison to other market structures. Miller suggests the nature of the market is uncommon and that prices are rigid. The hypothesis mentioned in the introduction supports this assumption on the real estate market in Hanoi. However, it can be questioned whether the real estate

The word is derived from the Greek words monos (meaning one) and polein (meaning to sell). Rarely does a pure monopoly exist. In a pure monopoly there is only one company making and selling the item in question; however there can also be the situation where there is one company who has the bulk of sales and the other

1. INTRODUCTION Oligopolies have been around ever since there is trade. However, it has only recently gained grounds in this age of globalisation. Never before has oligopolistic competition been so fiercely contested across so many industries. The media industry in the United States of America (US) is one such industry. As a powerful communication tool, the media has attracted many companies but only a handful has grown big. These media giants have dominated the local market and are currently seeking

Oligopoly Oligopoly is a market structure in which the number of sellers is small. Oligopoly requires strategic thinking, unlike perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition. • Under perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition, a seller faces a well defined demand curve for its output, and should choose the quantity where MR=MC. The seller does not worry about how other sellers will react, because either the seller is negligibly small, or already a monopoly. Under oligopoly

This can cause a type of chain reaction in a market situation. In the world market there are oligopolies in steel production, automobiles, semi-conductor manufacturing, cigarettes, cereals, and also in telecommunications. Often times oligopolistic industries supply a similar or identical product. These

potential entrants, such as an electronics manufacturer like Sony having its own retail outlets (Sony Centres), and a brewer like Heineken owning its own chain of UK pubs, which it acquired from the brewers Scottish and Newcastle in 2008.
