It is typically assumed to experience diminishing marginal returns, resulting in a decreasing marginal product of labor.

MERGER The consolidation of two or more separately-owned businesses under single ownership. Mergers fall into one of three classes--(1) horizontal between firms that sell competing products in the same market, (2) vertical between firms in different stages of the production of one good, and (3) conglomerate between firms that are in separate industries.

A related oligopolistic behavior is collusion.
