What important charactertistic do all three types of imperfectly competitive firms share?
They all have downward sloping demand curve
In imperfectly competitive markets, firms have some control over the prices they charge. Demand is greater than marginal revenue for these firms because they must lower prices to sell more products, which reduces the revenue they earn on each additional unit sold. This is because they face downward-sloping demand curves, meaning they have to lower prices to attract more customers.
In a perfectly competitive market in the long run, key characteristics include: many buyers and sellers, identical products, free entry and exit of firms, perfect information, and firms earning normal profits.
Economies of scale

Being imperfectly imitable means that the key resources used are impossible, extremely costly or difficult for other firms to duplicate.

Economies of scale
