force consumers to buy high - priced products.
Market power in economics refers to a firm's ability to affect the market price. A firm with market power can raise its price without losing all its sales because it has some control over the market (unlike in perfect competition where firms are price - takers). Influencing competitors' prices is not the core definition. Undercutting is a competitive strategy but not the essence of market power. Forcing consumers is an extreme and incorrect view; it's about having some pricing discretion based on market position (like monopoly or oligopoly power).
