Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Global oligopolies are firms that dominate the market due to their size, resources, and competitive advantages. For such firms, licensing may not be a good option as it can increase the risk of losing their competitive advantages through technology leakage or the development of new competitors. Additionally, global oligopolies may prefer to maintain control over the production and distribution of their products, which may not be possible through licensing agreements.
