Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry. In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

price setting firms
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The answer is: letter a, To protect national security.

Explanation:

This incident occurred in 2016. Taobao is one of the online shopping websites owned by "Alibaba Group." It was placed on the blacklist by the U.S. because of selling "counterfeit goods." However, it was removed from the blacklist in 2012, since it showed efforts in combating piracy.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Wide

Explanation:

Basically there are two spans of control namely; wide and narrow. A wide span of control is one in which a manager or supervisor interacts with many team members. In other words, the levels of hierarchy involved where there is a wide span of control is few. As such, this structure entails that a large number of the team members report directly to the manager.

The narrow span of control is one in which the manager supervises or interacts with a few team members. In other words, there is some level of hierarchy involved such that the managers direct subordinates are few and have subordinates who report to them.

To state it in another way, the wider the span of control, the fewer level of report or levels of hierarchy and the narrower the span of control, the higher the levels of hierarchy required.

In light of the explanation above, it can be deduced that Jody has a wide span of control over her team.
