CIA4U                            Market Structures in Action

 

In groups of one, two or three, find a business article involving one of the market structures, Perfect    Competition, Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly, Duopoly or Monopoly.

 

Complete the following tasks:

 

1.                  Do additional research to prove which market structure in which the featured company competes.

2.                  Prepare an oral summary of the company involved and how it relates to the theory of the market structure.

3.                  Prepare a demand and supply analysis for the market, given the event in the article.  Better yet is an attempt to show the change in market structure graph(s).

4.                  Give a brief but effective presentation on the three tasks above.  You may choose the mode of delivery (PowerPoint – you book and set up, poster, overhead, etc.)

 

You may choose to do an ongoing situation, e.g. privatization of the utilities.

 

You will be given class time to work on this – don’t waste it!

 

Evaluation:

 

10     Application – of theory (in work period and presentation)

5    Communication – able to present in a clear and effective manner
