Introduction---
When a service provider obeys all the rules laid down by that
Government and yet is able to enjoy the market supremacy
then such situation is termed as Government granted
monopoly. The term natural monopoly is used to refer to
monopolist that acquire the entire market for service of its
type because of the amount of production he makes
comparative to others to fulfill the market demands for that
service.
There are some commodities for e.g. oil, gasoline etc whose
availability and production is more in gulf countries. The
availability of these products is limited, but the requirement
is much more hence their prices are high. This monopoly is
unfortunate and is difficult to be controlled since these
resources are provided by nature. Hence man has started
searching for alternative fuels Sometimes a company
produces more services than its main product by giving
them other brand names just to avoid the competitors in
that field. For e.g. say a book seller sells book for same
subject but with different contents with other brand names
just to give an illusion that they are from two different
companies but the owner being the same. In such a case a
company is said to be using monopolistic tactics.
