Perfect Competition
Perfect competition is a single firm that provisions a specific decent or benefit, and that firm can charge whatever value it needs since customers have no choices and it is troublesome for would-be contenders to enter the marketplace.

One of the disadvantages was wasted resources. If there was anything with the product design, or the assembly line, that meant every item in the entire production cycle was effected. When this happened, the manufacturer would often have to get rid of all f these items, attempt to fix the issue, and start over. This led to a lot of wasted product, which was an even bigger problem when resources were limited to begin with. Alon with concern of wasted resources due to manufacturing discrepencies, there was no assurance that the products would sell even if they were all made correctly.
In the following essay I will be analysing and discussing Porter’s five forces. Created and named after Michael E. Porter, Porters model of the five forces helps a “company understand the structure of its industry and stake out a position that is more profitable and less vulnerable to attack” (Porter, 2008) The five forces that shape an industry are the following; Threat of new entrants, Bargaining power of suppliers, Threat of substitute products or services, Bargaining power of buyers and finally, Rivalry among existing competitors. (Porter, 2008) This analysing tool can help determine your position in the market, help create strategies and determine the industry’s long run profit potential.
The market revolution, which started in 1815, transformed worker lives, and improved the nation vastly; although it also dropped the economy as well. The traditional market, which was based upon power generated by animals and water, was slow in activities such as transportation. The growing nation underwent peace, which then catalyzed the reform of the organization of the economy. As such, transportation was heavily improved upon, along with manufacturing, banking, and commercial law. However, there were also two panics during the time that occurred that led to many Americans who were anxious and uncertain about working in the country.
The temporary character of competitiveness, which can be lowered anytime. 4. The massive spending on technological advances. 5. The brand image misconception in which low prices are usually associated with low quality product.
Market Structure - Oligopoly Oligopoly is a market structure whereby a few number of firms owns a lion’s share in the market. This market structure is similar to monopoly, except that instead of one firm, two or more firms have control in the market. In an oligopoly, there are no upper limits to the number of firms, but the number must be nadir enough that the operations of one firm remarkably influence and affects the others (Investopedia, 2003). The Walt Disney Company is categorized under an oligopoly market structure.
To a certain extent, we live in a free country. Especially economically there is a lot of freedom to enjoy. The Netherlands is not the only country which allows freedom on this scale, there are a lot of countries in which great economic freedom is very common. That there are certain rules to follow, may sound quite logic. There are limits called laws, which may not be crossed.
From the viewpoint of the customer, there are some advantages of buying a product under oligopolistic market. Firstly, customers may have many choices. Oligopolies sell various branded goods because of the characteristics of imperfect competition. One of the characteristics of oligopoly is non-price competition.
The type of market my paper is concentrating on is known as a monopolistic competition market. The first characteristic that differentiate a monopolistic competition market from the other 3 markets is that in a monopolistic competition, there are many sellers which would lead to competition between the firms to sell their products. The second characteristic is that monopolistic firms are relatively small, which can result in either new firms to enter the industry or firms that are existing to exit the market. The third characteristic is that the firms in the monopolistic market sell products that are similar but are slightly different compared to other firms in the same market. The last characteristic is that the firms in a monopolistic market
Holiday Inn is a world wide chain and its international functional strategies will always yield profitable returns. The potential customers are from all over the world. It has been noted that the holiday inn company has given the market such as Europe, Asia, America with regards to their social-cultural needs. Holiday Inn, like all other hotels has established a good system in determining the needs of the market. The company uses the concept of product, personality, behaviour of the customer and purchasing to its advantage.
When there is a large number of sellers and a large number of buyers in a market, that market is regarded as a perfectly competitive market or industry. In a perfectly competitive market, a single firm cannot dictate the pace and the selling price (Khan Academy, n.d.). In other words, one firm cannot set the prices and the competitors are obligated to market prices. What is fascinating about a perfectly competitive industry is that the barriers that prevent new firms from entering the industry are flexible; that means there are minor barriers of entry as well as little or no barriers to exit the industry (Rittenberg & Tregarthen, 2009). Additionally, buyers and sellers have all the necessary information to make a decision to buy or sell a product.
Market structures describe the competitive environment in which a firm operates. The characteristics of the market structure will have a major-influence on the competitive strategies and tactics that are implemented by firms. (Octotutor, 2014). For the purpose of this analysis, I have chosen to analyze the Coco-Cola Company, which operates in an oligopoly. This type of market has many implications for both consumers and competing firms.
Describe three of the environmental influences an organization faces. Provide one example of each and describe how an organization is impacted, either positively or negatively, by each: There are five main external environment forces which can influence an organization (Ashim gupta, 2009). They are technology, competition, resources, consumers, and laws and regulations. I am going to discuss consumers, competition, and resources. The first environmental influence is customers.
The market structure will affect how firm price their product in the industry. The market structure will affect the supply of different commodity in the market. When the competition is high there is a high supply of commodity as different companies tries to dominate the markets. A market structure will affect the barrier to entry for the companies that intend to join that market. A monopoly markets structure has the biggest level of barriers to entry while the perfectly competitive market has zero percent level of barriers to entry.
1.0 INTRODUCTION In an economy, there exists different market structures to accommodate different industries and firms. This study will be made to understand in further depth the market power of different market structures, and in particular an example of using case studies of agricultural sector of the French markets to explain how an ideal perfectly competitive market works. This will then be further strengthened with several references linked to the case study. 1.1 Monopoly market
