Picture yourself as a restaurant owner. The business is slow, but you can set up your dream bakery across town. What stops you? If your response was "selling the restaurant," you have just encountered an Exit Barrier.
These obstacles prevent you from quickly exiting a market or business, much like weeds holding on to your ambitions of being an entrepreneur or just wanting to try something else. They can be legal, such as large contract termination fees, or financial, such as specialized equipment with low resale value. Saying goodbye can be difficult even because of emotional links to customers and employees.
Why do these barriers matter, though? Exit barriers create a sticky situation. As digital photography gained popularity, Kodak, a giant of the film industry, was forced to cling to a declining market. Exit barriers dug their heels in. Large, specialized facilities used for film production were "sunk costs," meaning they were hard to reuse. Long-term agreements with retailers and suppliers presented financial obstacles to a quick exit. Employee knowledge developed in the context of film technology was not easily transferred to the digital era. These difficulties turned into Kodak's shackles, causing it to lose its market share and delay its digital transformation.
When firms can't easily exit, competition gets sluggish. Imagine a market where everyone serves the same old burgers because they can't sell their grills. Innovation suffers, new ideas struggle to sprout, and customers get stuck in a rut.

It includes an oligopoly, which features a few dominant firms and some entry barriers, and monopolistic competition where many firms sell differentiated products.

The intersection of financial rigidity and managerial obligations often makes exiting these sectors a complex and costly endeavor.
