Therefore, each firm is independent under perfectly competitive market and production decisions of a firm in a perfectly competitive market does not affect the price in the market nor will it cause any reaction from other firms.
However, Oligopolistic market is a market where there are few firms which are 3 or more firms but not more than 20 firms selling identical or differentiated product.. Firms in oligopolistic market are interdependent which implies that the decision of one firm can affect price and this can cause reaction from other firms and then lead to a price war.

In order to avoid the price war, each firm in an oligopolistic market has to consider its own impact on price when making production decisions.
