Describe the structure-conduct-performance (S-C-P) paradigm
What will be an ideal response?
An analytical approach to examining the structure of an industry and how it affects firm profitability. It holds that the types of products being sold, their price elasticities of demand, the methods used to produce them (especially the role of technology and the existence of scale economies), and the degree to which there are related products (complements and substitutes) will determine the number of firms in the industry, conditions of firm entry and exit, and the extent of product differentiation. The resultant industry structure determines firm price-output and non-pricing strategies which, in turn, determine the degree of firm profitability.
