(5x5=25 marks) (30) (5x5=25 ) Economists have often noted the oligopolist s reluctance to employ price cutting as a competitive weapon. But this cannot be explained entirely as a manifestation of a desire to live the quite life, for even when competitive activity does become more vigorous, it is notorious that this is very likely to take the form of more advertising expenditure or the introduction of new products features, some of which are sometimes considered to be little more than frills. It would appear then that the large firm s competitive effort has been channeled away from price policy and into advertising, service and product characteristic modification . - (Baumol) S M S M M , S - - - M Z S - , - 1.
