| Description | The aim of this paper is (using a mathematical model) to formulate a hypothesis that explains seemingly irrational competitive behavior of dominant firm in an oligopoly situation. The dominant firm in this situation is not used the price competition to gain a competitive advantage. Reason for this focus of paper is a widespread belief that discussed two competitive advantages are among considered competitors divided "fairly" - one of them to a dominant firm, the other to a company from the competitive fringe. The paper proves that the business reality differs significantly from this symmetric perception of the competitive advantage. The firm from competitive fringe is disadvantaged due the price control. Methodological basis of the contribution consists of a literature review. They are also used standard analytic-synthetic procedures. In a significant degree is used the potential of breakeven point analysis (mathematical model). The main result of this paper is formulation of the hypothesis, which explains why the dominant firm in a given situation (Stackelberg oligopoly model) does not need to obtain a competitive advantage by use reduction of the price. The proof of this hypothesis will be presented, due to the limited extent of the contribution, in a subsequent publication. |
