उत्तर
The following are the features of monopolistic competition:
- Large Number of Buyers and Sellers: A monopolistically competitive industry contains a large number of firms, each of which is relatively small compared to the overall size of the market. This ensures that all firms are relatively competitive. In particular, each firm has hundreds or even thousands of potential competitors.
- Non-Price Competition: Another important feature of monopolistic competition is the non-price competition. All the firms try to capture the market through various methods of competition other than price cutting. These methods may be the guarantee of free repairs, after-sale service, gift scheme with a particular purchase, special discount on a particular purchase, etc.
- Firms produce differentiated products: Products sold by different sellers are closely differentiated from each other. It may be on account of different brand names, packing, shape, the friendly behaviour of the seller or any other consideration.
- Freedom of entry and exit to firms: There is freedom of the firms to enter into the industry or leave the industry.
