Week 4 Makeup
A monopolistic competitive industry is the computer industry. Each of the firms in the industry has a monopoly on its products, but there are several other players in the industry. Internet cable industry, on the other hand, is an oligopoly industry. Profit opportunities in an oligopoly are better since the firms have control of the market and hence the bargaining power of customers is low. They can also collude to make it difficult for new entrants and hence dominate the market. The rivalry is low since the number of competitors is relatively low (Hill & Jones, 2010). Finally, these firms face little threat of substitutes since they are few and hence there is little chance that customers will move to other products.
