X-Inefficiency

A lack of real competition may give a monopolist less of an incentive to invest in new ideas or consider consumer welfare. X-inefficiency is the concept that a firm may not be operating at its highest level of efficiency due to various factors, such as mismanagement, lack of motivation among employees, or a lack of technological advancement. X-inefficiency can result in higher costs and lower profits for a firm.
