Module Overview
Mostly consumers benefit from competition through greater choices and lower prices. However, not all markets are equally competitive. Consider the airline industry. Would prices of commercial aircraft—and eventually the cost of travel—come down if six or ten international companies competed for the business instead of just two? Perhaps. However, would it make sense for the new companies to enter the market? Probably not unless the government subsidized the effort.
Understanding the marketplace in which your business operates will help you maximize the probability of earning profit for your business. In this module, you will learn some basic principles of estimating the market and generating profit.
