¶ … firm concentration ratios for the following industries are: fluid milk (311511), women's and girl's cut & sew dresses (315233), envelopes (322232), electronic computers (334111). The industries that are characterized by a high level of competition include clothing, which is a dominant industry in this country. The high level of competition and the many small business type clothing stores, in competition with larger chain stores, makes the competition widespread (Case et. Al, 2009).
Another industry that has a high level of competition is that of car sales and auto parts. Again, cars are a modern necessity and not necessarily a luxury item. Transportation is a necessity for many individuals. This means that car sales as well as auto parts are items that are sold often, and thus have a high level of output. Agricultural and farming products are also highly competitive. Food is obviously a necessity for everybody, and there are many communities that rely solely on farming as a means of producing income. (Case et. Al, 2009).
Software sales are another industry where there is a heavy level of competition, as individuals are constantly seeking out programs for their computers. This is generally...
Farming is thus dominated by many small farmers as well as many large, chain type farms. (Case et. Al, 2009).
As far as a low level of competition is concerned, industries that have lower competition rates include the actual sales of computers themselves; while there is competition in this industry, the industry is primarily dominated by IBM and Apple. The rest of the competition is relatively small in comparison with these two companies. A similar market that does not have as much competition is that of the video game console. Again, this market has come to be dominated by Sony and Nintendo, basically, with few small competitors in the mix. There are other examples to be provided here. For example, American movie companies have a low level of competition, with six companies primarily dominating the market. Another example is that of cellular phone services. Again, here, a few companies, such as Sprint, At and T, and Verizon dominate the industry. Television satellite production is another example, as this is now primarily dominated by the satellite television providers, Direct TV and Dish…

U.S. Automotive Industry Chosen industry: automotive industry is the focus of this analysis. More emphasizes are made on the large -- scale automobile manufacturers. This is because of the inherently interesting industry as a result it being competitive and projected to go through a major restructuring due to globalization in the near days to come. The issue of decreasing oil reserves is the other reason that is going to trigger this
Oligopoly is a market structure characterized by a small number of relatively large firms that dominate an industry (Oligopoly, 2000). It can contain 2 to 20 firms that dominate it. As the number of firms increase, it becomes monopolistic competition where dominance is controlled by one firm. An oligopolistic firm is relatively large compared to the overall market, has a substantial degree of market control, and has significantly greater capital
Finance-dominated proponents also maintain that boom economic periods generate a more varied divergence of valuations that fuel merger activity (Medlen 2007). In this regard, Medlen concludes that, "Taken collectively, these understandings may explain some of the merger activity in booms, but they involve certain asymmetries that undercut their explanatory power. High stock valuations allow stock to be utilized as currency and collateral for takeovers; yet stock booms also make
The deal was immediately criticized as anti-competitive by William Kennard, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, and by the Communications Workers of America, which represents some workers at both of the merged companies. But neither government regulators nor union bureaucrats will have the slightest impact on the latest merger. They have neither the power nor the desire to oppose the plans of the giant telecommunications monopolies. More substantial opposition
govern the profitability of banks in the South Easter part of Europe. The banking profitability in question is evaluated in terms of the rate of Return on Assets (ROA) and the rate of Return on Equity (ROE) .These two measures are expressed in terms of various other determinants. This paper therefore makes use of a series of raw data collected from South Eastern Europe credit institutions over a five-year
Continental When we are discussing the airline industry and the companies involved here, we need to differentiate between two periods: before the attacks of 11th of September 2001 and after the attacks, because the changes in the economic, social and political environment were so tremendous that they have changed everything radically, both in perceptions and in actions. Before September 2001, Continental had had a troubled period during the 80s and at
