In this section we’ll be looking at advertising’s major role in 2 types of
market structures.

In the U.S.Most industries represent some form of
IMPERFECT COMPETITION
3 types of IMPERFECT MKT STRUCTURESMonopoly / Oligopoly / Monopolistic Competition
![Page 5: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The most extreme form of IMPERFECT COMPETITION
A Pure Monopoly
One seller controls the supply of the good/service & thus determines the price.
EX: ?
Some local utility companiesFew such
markets exist in the world
![Page 6: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
So a monopolyis a market situation in which a single supplier
makes up an entire industry for a good/service with no close substitutes.
NEXT: characteristics of a monopoly
![Page 7: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1 A SINGLE SELLER
2 NO SUBSTITUTES
3 NO ENTRY
4 Almost Complete MKT Price Control
Characteristics of a Monopoly
![Page 8: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3. NO ENTRY
Monopolist is protected by obstacles to competi ti on preventi ng others from
entering the market.
![Page 9: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4. Almost Complete MKT Price Control
By controlling the available supply, the monopolist can
control the market price.
![Page 10: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
BARRIERS TO ENTRYIF a monopoly is
making all the profits in a particular industry, why don’t others jump
in to get a share?
OBSTACLES to COMPETITION that prevent others from entering a market
![Page 11: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
BARRIERS TO ENTRY
LEGAL EXAMPLE: Some state laws prevent a competing electric, gas or water company from
operating somewhere where a public utility company already
provides service.
FEAR of WASTEFUL DUPLICATION
E X A M P L E :3 water companies trying to lay water mains along streets
![Page 12: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Another BARRIER of ENTRYCOST OF GETTING STARTEDOR Excessive Money Capital Costs
E X A M P L E : CAR & STEEL INDUSTRIES
BIG inital investment – cost of equipment= HUGE startup costs keep companies
from entering some industries.Owning essential raw materials is also a barrier of entry. EXAMPLE: The DeBeers Company

the part of other firms in the oligopoly.

Non-Price Competition
O l i g o p o l i s t s e n g a g e i n
EXAMPLE: Some car makers have an oligopoly on the domestic car market. Millions/billions spent on advertising to differentiate their products in the consumer mind.
![Page 47: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION
The price you pay for BRAND product isn’t just based on supply/demand.
Manufacturers’ use of minor differences in quality/features to try to differentiate between similar goods & services
![Page 48: Monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54be89434a7959c97d8b45e4/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
INTERDEPENDENT BEHAVIORF E W F I R M S i n o l i g o p o l i e s
SO When 1 airline cuts its airfares to gain MKT share, the others follow suit
PRICE WARLOWER PRICESInitially good for consumers
If prices drop too much, an airline may be forced out of businessFEWER airlines / LESS COMPETITION / PRICES INCREASE in the long run

MONOPOLISTIC COMPETION & OLIGOPOLY are similar
B I G D I F F E R E N C E / # o f S E L L E R S
OLIGOPOLY – FEW FIRMS dominate an industry. CONTROL over PRICE is interdependent.
MONOPOLISTIC COMPETION has MANY FIRMS, NO real INTERDEPENDENCE / SLIGHT DIFFERENCE among products
