C- A monopoly like Tesco can be very good for consumers for many reasons. For example Tesco provides a variety of categories such as clothes, food, drinks, electronics, video games, pharmacies (medicine), school uniform / shoes, meats like pork, chicken, fish, garden furniture, stationary etc. Tesco sells products cheap and affordable so customers buy from them instead of other monopolies like Asda or Sainsbury’s. For example a packet of juicy apples are sold for 1.12 and in Sainsbury’s it’s sold for 1.43. See the difference? They aim for all standards consumers that have different value of income like having Tesco cheap value for those consumers who cannot afford other values.
B- If Tesco didn’t have competition with other big supermarkets like Asda and Sainsbury’s, Tesco would control supply markets which means they can also control prices which is a problem to consumers . They would control the customers and we are basically forced to buy products from Tesco as they control the supply market. Maybe that seems ok, however imagine Tesco decides all of a sudden to put the prices up and make the products expensive. Oh no! Its either that or we buy from mini supermarkets which would not meet our needs as they don’t sell what Tesco sells like clothes.
A- The government can bring out a legislation (laws) to be able to control Tesco in controlling the market and have a fair competition with the other monopolies. Competition law is law that promotes or maintains market competition by regulating anti-competitive conduct by companies. The laws are designed to prevent businesses that engage in unfair practices from gaining an advantage over competitors and may provide protection for the weak and those unable to afford buying expensive products. This is very beneficial because not only it would help the consumers and save money but it would save the other monopolies from loosing they are back in competition.

    For the final point in section three I will look into how Tesco reacted to the last recession. In the teeth of the biggest recession since records began, Tesco has just unveiled record profits – again. The 4,300-store grocer, which now operates in 14 countries, delivered a 10% increase in profits to £3.4bn and was declared “stronger than it was before the recession". But, it would have been a shock if the business, now the world 's third biggest retailer, had not produced another leap in…

    Harris Duopoly

    • 729 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The goal of this essay was investigated when applying economics models to the behaviours of Coles and Woolworths dominating the market and discussing implications through the four main assumptions of a duopoly: highly/slightly differentiated products, few sellers, interdependence and barriers to entry/exit exist. This has shown to cause significant price making ability over the local retails, also presented through the barriers of entry that exist in the market that permits the retailers from setting their own prices. Furthermore, the knowledge of the market that the duopoly obtains is significantly higher than the local retailers, which attributes to consumers purchasing at Coles and Woolworths thus forcing local retailers to lower prices to remain competitive. Moreover, the brand loyalty is perceived to be higher in the ‘big two’ than in the local retailers which contributes to Coles and Woolworths having more price making ability as consumers will purchase their fruits and vegetables regardless of price changes. This is supported through the interviews conducted with local retailers illustrating high awareness to price changes forcing them to adapt to price changes or differentiate their products with different…
