The fast-food industry itself is an oligopolistic market, but it operates under the monopolistic competitive market of restaurants in general.
"Monopolistic Competition" is, unless I'm missing something, an oxymoron. "Monopoly" implies "no competitors," so who, precisely, is the monopoly supposed to be competing with? In an oligopoly, there are a few competitors, so there actually could be some competition; however, the term is generally used in a trust situation where the "competitors" more or less agree not to actually compete.
Advantages: competition sells products at the lowest price and the best qaulity good Disadvantages: No government involved means some products could be harmful to people
The most likely market response would be that competitors in the market would lower their prices to match or undercut the new price so they don't risk losing sales. If the competition is intense enough it could start a discount or price war resulting in prices continuing to fall.
The government and society are more and more important in business. The corporation could not just develop depending on the sociopolitical and market environment.

Monopolistic Competition (characteristics, social impacts and solution). I have tried to find a typical example but have yet succeeded. Could you search for some Web links that help me find the statistics and general operation of a typical monopoly market as well as the appropriate regulations from government?
== == Monopolistic competition is the market situation where many sellers provide similar yet not perfectly substitutable products, thereby giving each seller some monopoly power. Thus, in monopolistic competition production does not take place at the lowest possible cost. Examples of monopolistic competition include restaurants, books, clothing. See the link below for more information. Monopolies are unfair, big bullies on the playground of business. Say we both were in the same industry, but I had more money than you did. I wanted to get your customers away from you so that I could make even more money. One way I might do that is to drop my prices so low that you can't afford to lower your prices to equal mine. All of your customers come to me to save money. You go out of business. I raise my prices back to normal--or even higher now because you're not there as my competition anymore. I keep doing this to everyone in our industry until I'm the only choice around, and everyone has to pay whatever I want to charge. Monopolies were a huge problem in the late 19th century in the U.S., and many would argue certain companies around today have too much of a monopoly on an industry.
Monopolies limited competition in a certain market. Limited competition meant that the company could choose any price they wanted.
Most definitely, and dance at the competition level could be considered a sport as well.
The business could bring something new to the market, so it won't have any businesses to compete with.
If you are referring to a "perfect competition"- you could define it as the most extreme type of competition, with many buyers . So, there are many companies selling the exact same product, without a restriction on new companies entering into the industry. If your sales accounted for in the industry are low (using percentage), you have a higher competition. On the contrary, if you have say 98% of sales in the industry you are monopolistic in competition. Examples of competitive industries would be clothing and textiles. Just for thought-There are many companies that sell these items.
Monopolies would harm the U.S Economy because it would close out the window for competition, and free market.

AUTHOR: JAMES CHINEMELU NWAZUOKE B. PHARM, UNIV. OF BENIN, NIGERIA MBA, RMIT, MELBOURNE One of the main advantages of Monopoly is in Monopolistic Profits. The surplus profit generated from a Monopoly can be plowed back into the firm to be used in R &D (Research and Development). This poses a major "societial gain" as the extra investment on R&D could lead to innovation for the good of all
