The consequence of the fewness of firms within a clearly defined industry Cheap Denver Broncos Jerseys , where output is fairly homogeneous and entry barriers are substantial, is that firms in an oligopoly realize that they are mutually interdependent. Thus, an oligopolist is unable to decide its best strategy unless it knows what its rivals intend to do and Cheap Dallas Cowboys Jerseys , likewise, the firm’s rivals are unable to determine their best strategy until they know what the firm is planning to do. Thus ‘optimal’ or best behavior depends on assumptions of rivals’ likely reactions and even assumptions about rivals’ assumptions. Profit maximization and survival in an oligopoly essentially depend on how a firm reacts to the strategies of its rivals. The most often quoted reason for collusion is that, by decreasing the amount of competition Cheap Cleveland Browns Jerseys , firms can determine monopoly solutions and thus increase their profits.
• Risk Risk is the major influence in the setting up of co-operative structures. The risk facing firms is the variability of demand and competition from within the industry. A possible escape from these risks would be for the firm to develop market power independently on the basis of product differentiation, product innovation or vertical integration. But such a strategy would be costly and highly uncertain. Collusion is thus an obvious alternative solution to these risks.
• Position and security Both position and security matter to oligopolists, and any move towards a guarantee of status and security Cheap Cincinnati Bengals Jerseys , via collusive action, is attractive. Perfect competition and monopoly, as theoretical ideals Cheap Chicago Bears Jerseys , are not concerned with market position. A perfectly competitive firm regards itself as sufficiently insignificant to be concerned with status. In theory a monopolist, as a sole supplier, does not consider its position as a goal or objective. It cannot better its position. On the other hand Cheap Carolina Panthers Jerseys , an oligopolist is aware of market share, for it defines its status in the industry. It may well wish to improve market share or at least ensure that it is not eroded. In either event, the firm cannot ignore its position and it forms a central issue in strategic decision making.
• Access to market information The desire for information may itself be the powerful drive towards an agreement. All firms require information on which to base their decisions. The importance of such information depends on the degree of interdependence in an industry or the extent to which firms are ‘vulnerable to damage’ by the actions of other firms. Firms are most vulnerable when undertaking investment decisions. A firm does not wish to suffer the consequences of over- or under investment. The effect of such information exchange is to reduce firms’ vulnerability and to increase group cohesiveness.
