Problem: I need help with describing a pattern of change in the market for IBM (Monopoly, oligopoly), and hypothesize short run/long run behaviors for the market model. I also would like to break down the major factors that impact the degree of competitiveness using data. Upon those findings, research two competitors that are the closest and determine the pricing strategies to help identify how this information will influence pricing decisons for IBM. The end result will lead to recommending a pricing policy for IBM that maximizes profits.
