Unit 3: Business Organizations & Market Structures
Entrepreneurs start new businesses every day. In addition to deciding how to produce and advertise their goods or services, how many people to hire, etc -- each entrepreneur must choose a what type of business organization they wish to run. Each business falls into one of three categories: sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. These three business organizations each have their advantages and disadvantages. In addition to falling under a specific business organization, each business also falls under certain market structures: pure competition, monopoly, oligopoly, or monopolistic competition. For instance, Coca-Cola is a corporation that operates as an oligopoly.
