Original: "In business, strategic entry deterrence refers to any action taken by an existing business in a particular market that discourages potential "

Suggested: "In business, strategic entry deterrence refers to any action taken by an existing business in a particular market that seeks to discourage potential"

Original: "leaving any potential entrant with a much smaller space in the market." Suggested: "leaving any potential entrant with a much smaller market share."

"Signalling": Include the paper developed by Milgrom and Roberts (1982), Limit pricing and entry under incomplete information,Econometrica, 50, pp. 443–466 in which they argue that limit pricing can serve as a cost-signaling device to the potential entrants who are uninformed about the cost structure of the incumbent.

In the Signalling section "Signalling needs to be credible to be effective" include the following reference: A. Michael Spence.The Bell Journal of Economics.Vol. 8, No. 2 (Autumn, 1977), pp. 534-544, which argues that entry can be deterred by irreversible investment decisions.

Adjustment to the Introduction proposal[edit]

The present introduction feels sluggish and lacks continuity with a some strategies mentioned but then not further elaborated on later in the article and other strategies not mentioned but then discussed later on in the article. Furthermore the credentials for the reference source provide for this information is is questionable as it comes from student tutoring website. Many academics in the field of economics have provide much stronger evidence that should be sourced instead.
