Which of the following industries is LEAST likely to form an oligopoly?
A) airline
B) automobile
C) tobacco
D) consulting
E) pharmaceutical
D
Explanation: D) Typically, oligopolies occur in industries in which there is a high investment to enter, so oligopolies are often major corporations in certain areas such as the airline, automobile, high-tech, pharmaceutical, and tobacco industries. Because consulting is knowledge intensive rather than resource intensive, it is least likely to become part of an oligopoly.
