high concentration ration have both advantage and disadvantage. the advantage of this might seen in context of objective of firm, where firm might plan to expel out the other firms by setting lower price and control the market i.e. he or she lead the concentration ratio high. in this case the advantages goes to the consumers with low price and high supply of product avail in the market. in contrast the firm might charge high price after he or she controlled the market to get high profit which is either advantage for the firm and cost for consumers. to conclude this high productivity might afford consumer and low productivity afford producers.
