A monopoly in business is a company that dominates its sector or industry, meaning that it controls the majority of the market share of its goods or services, has little to no competitors, and its consumers have no real substitutes for the good or service provided by the business.
You can think of monopolistic competition as a modified version of pure competition with minor differences in products.
A sole proprietor is someone who owns an unincorporated business by himself or herself.
In an oligopoly, prior to competing in the market, firms have an opportunity to form pair-wise collaborative links with other firms. These pair-wise links involve a commitment of resources and lead to lower costs of production of the collaborating firms.
The easiest way to become a monopoly is by the government granting a company exclusive rights to provide goods or services.
