This course gives an overview of modern industrial organizations
and, with its focus on inter-firm relations. It complements
KAN-CAEFO1074U Firm Theory and Corporate Governance which is

operates under monopoly, oligopoly, and perfect competition through
adopting such strategies as price discrimination, product
differentiation, collusion, and entry and exit.
