Research project 1: Market structures and Pricing Strategies
Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly and monopoly which are complex. As discussed in detail in your textbook, the assessment of market structure is conducted on the basis of
intensity of competition, depending on the number of firms in the industry,
homogeneity of products, evaluated by the extent of substitutability of a firm product by the products of its rivals,
barriers to entry, estimated by the complexities and obstacles confronting potential firms from entering the industry,
information asymmetry, assessed by the degree of availability of knowledge of price to buyers.
Develop a paper detailing an analysis of market structures and relating pricing strategies that are suitable for each of these structures. Furthermore, include a real world example of pricing strategy for a specific company by identifying its market structure.
This research paper must be documented in Microsoft Word, APA formatted, and includes at least three scholarly peer reviewed articles. I strongly recommend the use of the APUS library since the most acceptable resources can only be found in protected database.
