Oligopolies in Malaysia
Oligopolies are
when few companies dominate the markets in the country. In the UK supermarket
industry, Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda own the market there. In Malaysia, the
perfect example would be Maxis, Celcom and Digi who dominate the
telecommunication market. One of the components of a market that is oligopoly
is that the giants fiercely compete on the price, so they can try to attract a
larger share market than their competitors. This could be said as having price
wars, for example, in 2012, Maxis introduce a cheaper prepaid and IDD packages amongst
the foreign workforce with appealing price rate but Celcom, launched the Celcom
First Voice Plan to assist the group broaden its subscriber foundation. Therefore, Maxis, Celcom and Digi are 3 large companies mainly
just rivaling one other in the telecommunication market with rarely any regards
to other telecommunication companies like U-mobile. This is considered as
oligopoly. However, in some
rare cases, the 3 companies would decide to cooperate with each other instead
of competing. One of the main reasons they would decide to cooperate is to
assume their control on the market and benefit from supernormal profits in the
long run. This will lead to inflation. Other than that, the rivals would also
choose to work together to prevent new companies to enter the market, as well
as there are high entry barriers which is caused by the copyrights, patents of
the companies, advertisement and the economies of scale.
