FORMS OF MARKET -MONOPOLISTIC

MONPOLISTIC FORM OF MARKET
Meaning of monopolistic competition : Monopolistic competition is found in the industry where there is large number of sellers , selling differentiated but close substitute goods. The firm has some freedom to fix its price. It has some monopoly and also faces competition from rivals.
Features of monopolístic competition
a)A large number of sellers : The number of sellers is sufficiently large that there is no feeling of mutual interdependence among them. Each firm acts independently without caring for any effect which it's action may have upon those of its competition.
b)Differentiated products:There is large number of buyers who are offered differentiated products and consequently have a preference for products of particular sellers. Different sellers use different methods for creating preference for their own product . It can be done by the differences in material used, design, colour, packaging, trade marks . These are the products which are not absolutely perfect substitutes but close substitute.
c) Unrestricted entry :Entry into the industry is unrestricted. New firms are able to commence production of very close substitute for existing brands of product even though they cannot make items which are exactly identical in eyes of purchasers of existing brand.
d)Non-Price competition:There are definite methods through which firms in the market try to win over customers or competing rivals other than in price. It may  be in the form of gift scheme, sales services , free transport cost. All these methods are ways to attract customers .
e)Selling cost :Every firm tries to promote its own brand of product among the consumers through different types of expenditures on advertisement . The effect of these advertisement expenditures or selling cost may be to attach particular consumers to particular brands. In this way, firms with particular brand become monopolists of their brands in market.
f)Price -policy :The firm has price policy under this competition. In perfect competition , a firm is only a price -taker. It has no price policy of its own.
g)Imperfect knowledge :The existence of monopolistic competition depends upon imperfections in knowledge of buyers . Much of selling cost is simply meant to create superiority of brand over other brands. The products may really be same but consumers may come to know particular brand name more than others .
h)Lack of perfect mobility: Factors of production, goods and services lack perfect mobility. Accordingly, different prices prevail for same factor or for same product.

Tokenization  Tokenization is the process of turning sensitive data into non-sensitive data called "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope.  •It can be used to secure sensitive data by replacing the original data with an unrelated value of the same length and format.  •The tokens are then sent to an organization’s internal systems for use, and the original data is stored in a secure token vault. •The purpose of tokenization is to swap out sensitive data—typically payment card or bank account numbers—with a randomized number in the same format but with no intrinsic value of its own. •Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive data from your business systems by replacing it with an undecipherable token and storing the original data in a secure cloud data vault.  Token will be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and p...
