The lack of competition breeds complanency and inefficiency.
In the short run, abnormal profits exist but in the long run, it gets eroded away because new firms enter the industry.
c) no barriers to entry or exit in the long run
Monopolistic competition is a market situation that is different from both perfect competition (PC) and monopoly. The theory of monopolistic competition was first developed by Chamberlin. In monopolistic competition the firms sell differentiated yet highly substitutable products, whereas in PC, the firms engage in production of homogeneous products. This product differentiation gives the firms a bit of monopoly power in pricing and they face slightly downward sloping demand curve as compared to the horizontal demand curve of PC. However, the free entry and exit of firms ensures that these firms have limited monopoly and no super normal profits arise in the long-run.
A monopoly is a market which has only one firm, the firm has market power, and there are barriers to entry. The long run profits for a monopolist may be greater than zero. Monopolistic competition is more closely related to perfect competition than monopoly. In monopolistic competition, there are many firms in the market. However, each firm has product differentiation. An example of monopolistic competition would be the jeans industry. There are many different types/quality of jeans e.g. True Religion, Levi's and Lee's. Products are somewhat differentiated, but, as in perfect competition, the long run profit = 0. Oligopoly is a market in which there are only a few firms, each firm has market power, and there is much product differentiation between the firms. The long-run profit of oligopoly can be greater than zero, because there are barriers to entry in the market.

Iarnród Éireann, which is the Irish for Irish Rail. Both names are used. Translink run rail services in Northern Ireland.
In the short run, firms in monopolistic competition may make a profit due to product differentiation, allowing them to charge higher prices. However, in the long run, new firms can enter the market and offer similar products, leading to increased competition and eroding profits. This competition reduces demand for each firm's products, eventually causing profits to decrease and firms to only break even.
Companies who are desperate and have run out of ideas
