Hi! Yesterday we looked at a business strategy that involved focusing on a small but important piece of the market. Today we examine the opposite approach - when a company wants it all!
MONOPOLY 市場独占、独占企業
- A monopoly is a situation in which a company controls all of a particular market and others are unable to enter that market.
Such a company itself can also be called a monopoly. - monopoly とは、ひとつの企業がある分野の市場の全てを支配し、他の企業はその市場に参入できない状態のことです。
市場を独占している企業自体を monopoly 呼ぶことができます。
- Beau Bottle Distributors has a monopoly on the supply of wine from the Perdot region. So it has made a killing ever since three Perdot wineries made the Best-10 list in Wine Lovers Magazine.
- Some economists consider monopolies bad for consumers, because without competition there is nothing to keep prices from rising.
- The courts determined that the software maker was indeed a monopoly and ordered the company to make a number of fundamental changes to their business model.
