Question

After world war II, young Tucker tried to break in the automobile business with his original "Tucker Torpedo" automobile.(You should see the movie"Tucker") But the Big three automobile makers(GM, FORD, and CHRYSLER) formed their own exclusive club, not allowing a new comer to join the club. With a plot(bully tactic, squeeze the capital, or tarnish Torpedo's credibility), they destroyed young Tucker's dream to be a major car maker.

Suppose you are in the same position as Tucker's to break in the Oligopoly market(Big three ).

Q2) Is it an good idea to patent his torpedo first and work for the big companies until he accumulates enough capital to compete against big guys?

(0.5 point)

Q3) 30 years later, another young businessman, named Bill Gates first worked for IBM with his licensed operating system called MS -Dos program (although young Bill Gates originally bought Dos program from somebody else). Later he bulit his own empire called Microsoft.
