The following  [[Outline (list)|outline]] is provided as an overview of and topical guide to industrial organization:

'''[[Industrial organization]]''' &ndash; describes the behavior of firms in the marketplace with regard to production, pricing, employment and other decisions.  Issues underlying these decisions range from classical issues such as [[opportunity cost]] to neoclassical concepts such as [[factors of production]].

**long-run production function and [[efficiency (economics)|efficiency]]
**returns to scale and isoclines
**[[minimum efficient scale]]
**plant capacity
*[[Economies of density]]
**[[Economies of scale]]
***the efficiency consequences of increasing or decreasing the level of production.
**[[Economies of scope]]
***the efficiency consequences of increasing or decreasing the number of different types of products produced, promoted, and distributed.
**[[Network effect]]
***the effect that one user of a good or service has on the value of that product to other people.
*[[Optimum factor allocation]]
**[[output elasticity]] of [[factor cost]]s
**[[marginal revenue product]]

***charging a price composed of two parts, usually an initial fee and an ongoing fee
**[[Price points]]
***the effects of a non-linear demand curve on pricing
**[[Cost-plus pricing]]
***a [[markup (business)|markup]] is applied to a cost term in order to calculate price
***[[cost-plus pricing with elasticity considerations]]
***cost plus pricing is often used along with [[break even analysis]]
**[[Rate of return pricing]]
*** calculate price based on the required rate of return on investment, or rate of return on sales
*[[Profit maximization]]
**determining the optimum price and quantity
