4 0
Oligopolies are inefficient as they do not produce the highest overall utility for the society. Since the market of sellers is few they limit the number of products being sold/made in order to limit their cost but increase their profit per unit. This results in the firm's producing the goods to gain more of the utility generated by the market and the consumers receive something much less. The loss of the consumers then out weighs the gain of the producers hence the total utility of the system is lower.

topjm [15]

Answer:

they will inevitably fall behind other competitors seeking out innovations.

Explanation:

Innovation typically involves the creation of a new product of any category such as automobile, building, phones, electronics, etc., that generates money for the innovators or manufacturers through purchase made by the end users (consumers).

Competitive advantage can be defined as conditions, factors or circumstances that allow a business firm (organization) to manufacture finished goods or services better and perhaps cheaper than other (rival) firms in the same industry. Thus, it's responsible for putting a business firm in a superior or more favorable position than rival firms.

This ultimately implies that, a competitive advantage has a significant impact on a business because it increases its level of sales, revenue generation and profit margin when compared to rival firms in the same industry.

Hence, market competition may sometimes encourage a firm to innovate out of fear because of the perception that they will inevitably fall behind other competitors in the same industry who are seeking out innovations.
