    Market Structure: Oligopoly
    Fact: Oligopolies have high barriers to entry.
    Modern-day Business: Oil - OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries); since cartels are a subset of oligopolies, OPEC is a perfect example.

    Perfect Competition Fact:
    No perfect market actually exists in the real world because it requires large number of buyers and sellers with perfect information, perfect substitutes, and homogenous products (among many other things).

    Example:
    Although no perfect market exists, the street food business in developing countries comes very close as there are large number of buyers and sellers, fairly homogenous goods, new perfect information, no entry or exit exclusivity, and plenty of substitutes.

    Market Structure: Monopolistic Competition

    Monopolistic Competition Fact:
    A monopolistic competition is characterized by an industry in which many firms offer products or services that are similar, but not exact substitutes. It is where each firm makes independent decisions about price and output. It serves as a selling strategy in which one firm tries to distinguish its products or services from all competing products on the basis of different attributes.

    Monopolistic Competition Example:
    Hotels; pharmaceutical companies such as Tylenol, Advil, Nyquil- all relieve pain but consist of different chemicals.

    Oligopoly Fact: It is market situation in which each of a few producers affects but does not control the market. A market form in which a market or industry is dominated by a small number of sellers

    Oligopoly Example: Characteristic oligopolies in the U.S. are the steel, aluminum, and automobile industries.

    Monopolistic Competition: Unlike Oligopolies, this market structure has more leeway when it comes to entering and exiting a market, because there are no barriers in doing so.

    Monopolistic Competition Example: As weird as it may sound, hairdressers often represent this type of market structure. Each location provides a slightly differentiated product with a variety of skill sets. Since this is an industry where there are no major chains, it keeps hairdressing away from being an oligopoly.

    Monopoly market structure: a government can create a monopoly over an industry that it wants to control.
    Monopoly Example: Microsoft and Con Edis are examples of monopoly market structure. Con Edis is only provider of electricity. Water and gas in the US. Therefore they have only one firm.

    1. Another example could be De Beers: a firm that started out by renting water pumps to miners during a diamond rush, De Beers succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of its founder, Cecil Rhodes. In 1888, De Beers Consolidated Mines was formed with the sole purpose to be the owner of all diamond mining operations in South Africa. Using his colonial influences, Rhodes negotiated a strategic agreement with the London-based Diamond Syndicate in 1889, which fixed diamond prices.

    Market Structure: Monopoly

    Market Structure Fact: A monopoly falls under the category of limited competition because it assumes that a single producer sells a product with no close substitutes to many buyers and benefits from barriers to entry by other firms.

    Market Structure Example: The break up of AT&T by Reagan in the 1980s. Since that time, many of the baby bells have begun to merge and increase in size in order to provide better service to a wider area. The break up of AT&T caused a sharp reduction in service quality for many customers and, in some cases, higher prices, but the settling period has elapsed.

    Market Structure: Monopoly

    Market Structure Fact: The word monopoly literally means "one seller". Thus, the market structure is one where one person or company sells a good and had very few or no competitors or substitutes in the market.

    Example: Luxottica is a modern day example of a monopoly. With over 7000 retail location worldwide and a direct involvement in over 80% of glasses produced, it is very difficult to pick an alternative. The company is so large in fact, that many have speculated if Luxottica was using its broad range of holdings to keep eyewear prices artificially high.

    Market Structure: Monopoly
    Fact: Monopoly is actually a board game that teaches you valuable lessons about the real world. A Monopoly occurs when one firm is prevailing in its industry - usually 25% or more percent.
    Modern Day Business: Tyson is a clear example of a monopoly within the meat industry. Tyson has a 25% market share. Yet a lot of people have issues with Tyron's be the way in which it risks the life's of animals and humans. Chickens are pumped with drugs so that they grow fast and plump leading to infractions in humans. Although it is a monopoly it has not earned this tittle very easily.

    Market Structure: Monopoly

    Market Structure Fact: A monopoly is an enterprise that is the only seller of a good or service. In the absence of government intervention, a monopoly is free to set any price it chooses and will usually set the price that yields the largest possible profit.

    Monopoly Example: Standard Oil was the product of John D. Rockefeller. In 1882, Standard Oil’s properties were incorporated into the Standard Oil Trust. Under this banner, Rockefeller formed a conglomeration that handled all oil production, transportation, refinement and marketing. By 1890, Standard Oil controlled 88% of the refined oil flows in the United States. At the turn of the century, the company controlled 91% of oil production and 85% of its final sales.

    Market Structure: Monopoly
    Fact: This type of market structure gives a company the ability to set prices with the only limitation being the consumers’ willingness to pay.
    Example: United States Postal Service (USPS) is the only company for first class and standard mail delivery because it is protected by the government in the Private Express Statutes of 1792.

  13. Market Structure: Monopoly
    Market Fact: the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service in any given situation concerning business.
    Example: The De Beers Group of Companies has a leading role in the diamond exploration, diamond mining, diamond retail, diamond trading and industrial diamond manufacturing sectors. The company is currently active in open-pit, large-scale alluvial, coastal and deep sea mining. The company operates in 28 countries and mining takes place in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Canada. Until the start of the 21st century, De Beers effectively had total control over the diamond market as a monopoly of diamonds.

    1. another example: Intel is known for its microprocessors, but it has a long history of dominating numerous markets in the computer industry. The story goes that for years Intel allowed its smaller competitor, AMD, to just barely stay in business so Intel could avoid scrutiny. Forbes reported that whenever AMD’s market share neared 20% or so, Intel would turn up the heat with strategic pricing changes to drive down AMD’s share. Intel appears to have given up the ruse entirely in 2014, as its market share for servers was roughly 98% in Q3. Intel is in talks to buy Altera Corporation, which if successful, will be Intel’s biggest-ever acquisition.

    Oligopoly
    Fact: Today, oligopolies are common and spreading rapidly. In an oligopoly, a few companies that strongly influence an industry benefit each other.
    Example: The main cellphone service providers are Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Customers must pay for plans that do not benefit them but do benefit the service providers because the bigger companies in the industry all have similar plans.

    Monopoly
    Fact: It's rough on the consumers and the only ones to profit out of it are the producers.
    EX: Diamond industry. There is a diamond monopoly right now in the extreme- there are warehouses full of diamonds that just sit there so that the De Beers Company can just release diamonds into the market as they see fit to control the price of diamonds for personal profit.

    Market structure: Perfect Competition

    Fact: The structure is set up so that no small firm can alter the market price or the quantity demanded.

    Example: Pike's Place market because of the large number of suppliers in the one given market that if one supplier were absent or unable to sell anything on a given day, it would not affect the market price.

    Perfect Competition Fact:
    Advertisement is not needed in a perfect competition because all goods are the same, and customers have all the knowledge pertaining to those goods.

    Example:
    The internet has made many markets closer to perfect competition because the internet has made it very easy to compare prices, quickly and efficiently (perfect information). Also, the internet has made barriers to entry lower. For example, selling a popular good on internet through a service like e-bay is close to perfect competition.

    Market Structure: Perfect Competition
    Fact: All firms are price takers, therefore the firm's demand curve is perfectly elastic. Firms have to remain efficient otherwise they will go out of business.

    Example: Although there are not any 100% perfect markets, agricultural markets are examples of nearly perfect competition. Local markets that sell the same fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

    Market Structure: Oligopoly
    Fact: In an Oligopoly prices are often constant. This happens because if one business lowers their price than other companies will have to lower their costs too, and thus causing the prices to remain constant at the highest price possible.

    Example: An example would be if Exon was to lower the price of gas sold at their gas stations. This would cause more customers to come and buy their gas and Exon's competitors to be selling less gas so in order for their competitors to compete and not lose money they also would have to lower their cost of gas in order to keep their customers.

    Market Structure:Monopoly
    Fact: concern for potential competition is also a limiting factor on the degree of monopoly power that existing firms can afford to exert. Firms may also be deterred from the fullest possible exploitation of their monopoly power by the fear of government action and by other considerations, such as public, consumer, and employee relations.

    Example: The huge corps whom all own the food organizations like the Mars Corp. and others never go to a monopolistic stand point as it would cause an immediate control of market price on candy which is widely bought and fluctuations would become a lot more sensitive on the consumers.

    Market Structure: Perfect competition which is a market in which the buyers and sellers are so numerous and well informed that all elements of monopoly are absent and the market price of commodity is beyond the control of individual buyers and sellers.

    Example: Internet Industries like ebay. The internet allows users to sell goods as well as compare prices very easily and efficiently.

    Market Structure: Perfect Competition
    Fact: Perfect competition is the opposite of monopoly and there are large numbers of buyers and sellers also the products are perfect substitutes for each other.
    Example: Since farmers are selling identical products to the market and theres an abundant amount of buyers, it is easy to compare prices and find substitutes, making agricultural markets almost a perfect competition.

    Monopolistic Competition: Monopolistic competition was first classified as a market structure in the 1930s by American economist Edward Chamberlin and English economist Joan Robinson.

    Example: Many small businesses like independently owned restaurants can be considered monopolistically competitive as each one offers something unique, but all are competing for the same target market.

    Market Structure: Oligopoly

    Fact: Companies in oligopolies establish exclusive dealerships to obtain lower prices from suppliers. With lower prices, oligopolies can achieve their intention of keeping new companies out.

    Example: There are only four breakfast cereal manufacturers - Kellogg, General Mills, Post and Quaker. Therefore, this would be considered as a oligopoly because there is only a small amount of businesses that are in competition with one another. This makes it easy for them to have a huge influence over the price of breakfast cereals.

    Fact: Found all throughout the world and market, they are considered to be the big competitors in the specific market and they usually work hand in hand to benefit each other

    Example: The big pharmaceutical companies are excellent examples of oligopolies. They are very close to becoming monopolies due to owning such large shares in many medical businesses, but US rules and regulations keep them stagnant oligopolies. Examples of these sort of corporations are like Johnson and Johnson and AstraZeneca who both tried to merge and buy out other pharmacy dispensaries like CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens.

    market structure - monopoly

    fact- Entry into such a market is restricted due to high costs or other impediments, which may be economic, social or political. For instance, a government can create a monopoly over an industry that it wants to control, such as electricity.

    For example, in Saudi Arabia the government has sole control over the oil industry. A monopoly may also form when a company has a copyright or patent that prevents others from entering the market. Pfizer, for instance, had a patent on Viagra.

    Example- Andrew Carnegie in the late 19th century took over the American steel production and made one huge company. It singled out all the competition after he sold it to J.P Morgan. The U.S steel company owned most of the steel in America, which shows why it is a monopoly.

    Market structure:- perfect competition

    Fact: a A main requirement of perfect competition is that the largest firm in an industry make a minor fraction of the industry’s sales and therefore that there be many firms in the industry.

    Example: local farmers' market: there are lots of farmers selling the same fruits and vegetables and herb. The prices are usually all about the same.

    An oligopoly market structure is very similar to a monopoly in that it is when a small number of firms, rather than just one, control a majority of the market. An example of a modern day business that operates like this would be the wireless service industry in Canada. Three companies control 90% of the market and therefore almost all the control.

    Monopolstic Competition fact: Each firm within a monopolistic market is in a position to exercise some degree of monopoly through product differentiation. Product differentiation refers to differentiating the products on the basis of brand, size, colour, shape, etc. The product of a firm is close, but not perfect substitute of other firm.

    Monopolistic Competition example: The toothpaste market is a good example of monopolistic competition market structure due to the uniqueness of each toothpaste and the power to charge different price.

  41. Monopolistic Competition: A market in where different companies produce the same product with the same uses but there are differences in the brand name. The products are similar but they can't exactly be used as substitutes. This type of market is an imperfect competition type market where the company is somewhat in a monopoly and can control their prices.
    Example: Shoe brands such as Nike and Adidas produce shoes that are similar but due to society and fashion trends, they are not exactly substitutes. They also control the majority of the shoe business so technically they control their prices and are monopolistic in nature. This control over their prices and the similarity of their products cause Nike and Adidas to be in a monopolistic competition.

    Example:The breakup of the Bell System was mandated on January 8, 1982, by an agreed consent decree providing that AT&T Corporation would, as had been initially proposed by AT&T, relinquish control of the Bell Operating Companies that had provided local telephone service in the United States and Canada up until that point.[1] This effectively took the monopoly that was the Bell System and split it into entirely separate companies that would continue to provide telephone service. AT&T would continue to be a provider of long distance service, while the now independent Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) would provide local service, and would no longer be directly supplied with equipment from AT&T subsidiary Western Electric.

    Monopolistic Competition
    fact:Under monopolistic competition, firms are free to enter into or exit from the industry at any time they wish. It ensures that there are neither abnormal profits nor any abnormal losses to a firm in the long run. However, it must be noted that entry under monopolistic competition is not as easy and free as under perfect competition.
    Example:When you walk into a departmental store to buy toothpaste, you will find a number of brands, like Pepsodent, Colgate, Neem, Babool, etc. On one hand, the market for toothpaste seems to be full of competition, with thousands of competing brands and freedom of entry.On the other hand, its market seems to be monopolistic, due to uniqueness of each toothpaste and power to charge different price.

    Fact: In monopolistic competitions there are many sellers, but there's isn't one that works together. They all run individually with a limited number of shares within the market and a limited handle of the prices.

    Example: A simple monopolistic competition is Netflix and Hulu. Though we view them as streaming hubs they both offer different shows, prices, and programming. They are still very similar within market terms because they are apps for television entertainment.

    Fact: A monopoly is an enterprise that is the only seller of a good or service. In the absence of government intervention, a monopoly is free to set any price it chooses and will usually set the price that yields the largest possible profit. They effectively rule the market preventing any corporations from making very much profit.

    Example:
    We don’t even remember what the Internet looked like before Google came onto the scene. Thanks to their secret algorithm, they control 67% of the web search market. Since its beginning, the company has grown and branched off into email, online maps, GPS tracking systems, online data storage and mobile phones.

    There are competitors like Microsoft and Yahoo, but they own just 18% and 11% of the market, respectively. Google makes most of its money from advertising and has always prided itself on not manipulating search results. But recently they’ve been accused of doing just that, promoting their own products and “burying the competition’s.”

    Fact: An Economist only found two examples that would have been considered a monopoly "without special government privilege: the New York Stock Exchange from the 1870s until 1934, and the De Beers diamond mining company. Even those, he said, were questionable examples."
    Example: "No U.S. markets are more monopolistic than utilities. Providers of water, natural gas, telecommunications and electricity are usually granted exclusive rights to service municipalities through local governments. Trucking and railroad companies became monopolistic after establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission."

    Fact: Perfect competition means there are few, if any, barriers to entry for new companies, and prices are determined by supply and demand.

    Example: Coffee shops can price their own coffee and can start up whenever they get the opportunity. Ex. Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Dunkin Donuts
