Here's a synopsis of a college course in Econ 101. The answer is that "Supply and Demand" determines price in a free market.\n\nIn the very short term, which you were watching, there are thousands of traders like myself, witht heir fingers poised over the Buy button or Sell button to be hit when certain conditions are met. You are seeing the result of the those button pushers. When many people collectively Buy the same stock, the price goes up, and when many more people sell than there are buyers, the price goes down. \n\nThat's really all there is to it, at least, within the realm of your question.

It helps separate your product from the rest of similar products even though their maybe no difference between your products and other products.\nOnce a company is able to differentiate their product through brand marketing, it becomes easier to "build value" in their product (even though it is no different then their competitors)\nThis allows you to bend the rules of supply and demand of a market with perfect competition and allows the company to have more control over setting prices vs. all the control being in the hands of the market.

Collusion works if there is a fair amount of business where they are located. They have to have the same products, and there has to be an open market for it. It is good for sellers, because it allows them to equally split profits amongst themselves and to keep prices high because of the lack of free markets.

If it is from marketing point of view, you need to examine it from the point of the 4 marketing mix elements: Product(characteristics), place(how the product is being distriubuted), price(which pricing method is used) and promotion(how the product is promoted).You might want to find out the market share of the product. It is best to choose a well known product for which you can find a lot info on the Internet(Coca Cola, Nike, Pepsi...)\nGood luck...

The amount of choices produces competition between proveiders of product to the consumer.  This competition forces lower pricing which is why free markets are superior to state controlled market pricing.  Necessary?  No, but I would rather have the choice than a higher price.

Information is the backbone of all businesses.  If it is not organized in the optimum format, the business will not do well.  If the business objective is to attract new customers, their systems will have to process new customers quickly to seem more efficient than the competition.

One, his answer is true, but, in competition, you loose money on one part, but make up profit in another.  Say like for instance in Wal-Mart.  Every customer needs household chemicals, foods, etc.  Not every item, will you be losing profit.  You still have your higher profit items, that a good merchant will push to make up for in sales.  For instance, if you are losing profit in paper towels, than you will cross merchandise a paper towel holder, that is at a 50% profit. Also, if you bring in the customer, there is still that high profit department, that a customer will shop.  A good business knows how to equal out the margin. The only downside to competion, is within the businesses.  If a business can't hang with another, or know how to manage, their money, staff, and most importantely, how to take care of the customer, than they will loose.  A good merchant doesnt see a loss, but see's profit.
