Types of Competition
• Monopoly: When one firms sells a good or service
and has a lot of control over its marketing plan.
• Oligopoly: When a few firms, usually large ones,
account for most industry sales and would like to
engage in nonprice competition.
• Monopolistic Competition: If there are several
firms in an industry, each trying to offer a unique
marketing mix-based on price.
• Pure Competition: When many firms sell virtually
identical goods or services and they are unable to
create differential advantages. It occurs rarely.
