Business Competition
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Walk down any high street and you will see two very different kinds of business: a corner shop selling almost identical bread and milk to twenty rivals within walking distance, and a single national water company that every household in the region must buy from because there is no alternative supplier. Both are real market structures, and the amount of competition each firm faces changes almost everything about how it behaves.
In this lesson you will travel along the spectrum of market structures from highly competitive markets to monopoly, examine why some firms grow large while others deliberately stay small, and unpack the barriers that keep monopolies and oligopolies protected from new rivals. You will finish able to judge, for a given market, whether more competition or more concentration serves consumers better.
