Industrial organization is the field of economics that studies the behavior of firms, the structure of markets and of their interactions. Theoretical analysis in the field is heavily based on game theory. This is not to be confused with the related psychological area, Industrial and organizational psychology. The common market structures studied in this field are the following: • Perfect competition • Monopolistic competition • Oligopoly • Oligopsony • Monopoly • Monopsony The subject has a theoretical side and a practical side. According to one text book: "On one plane the field is abstract, a set of analytical concepts about competition and monopoly. On a second plane the topic is about real markets, teeming with the excitement and drama of struggles among real firms" (Shepherd, W.; 1985;1). References • Tirole, Jean The Theory of Industrial Organization, (The MIT Press, 1988). This is a "standard" graduate textbook in the field. The book requires extensive knowledge of calculus as well as game theory. • Shy, Oz Industrial Organization:Theory and Application (The MIT Press, 1995). This is an undergraduate text.

Industrial organization is the field of economics that studies the behavior of firms, the structure of markets and of their interactions. |
L'organizzazione industriale è il campo dell'economia che studia il comportamento delle aziende, la struttura dei mercati e delle loro interazioni. |

According to one text book: "On one plane the field is abstract, a set of analytical concepts about competition and monopoly. |
Secondo un libro di testo; "Da un primo punto di vista si tratta di un settore astratto, un insieme di concetti analitici circa la concorrenza ed il monopolio. |
|
On a second plane the topic is about real markets, teeming with the excitement and drama of struggles among real firms" (Shepherd, W.; 1985;1). |
Da un altro punto di vista, l'argomento sono i mercati reali, brulicanti della passione e della drammaticità [tipici] delle battaglie tra aziende reali." (Shepherd, W.;1985;1). |
