Abstract:
Abstract Perfect competition is a market structure characterised by a complete absence of rivalry among the individual firms. Thus perfect competition in economic theory has a meaning diametrically opposite to the everyday use of this term. In practice businessmen use the word competition as synonymous to rivalry. In theory, perfect competition implies no rivalry among firms.
