Course «Industrial organization» focuses on three groups of problems: theory of the firm – size, area of activity and conduct; imperfect competition – conditions of acquiring market power, forms of its exercise, factors of its maintaining and loss, price and non-price competition; societal policy towards business – feasibility of government intervention, scope of regulation, purpose, tasks and directions of regulation.
