Tacit collusion occurs where firms undergo actions that are likely to minimise a response from another firm, e.g. avoiding the opportunity to price cut an opposition. Put another way, two firms agree to play a certain strategy without explicitly saying so. Oligopolists usually try not to engage in price cutting, excessive advertising or other forms of competition. Thus, there may be unwritten rules of collusive behavior such as price leadership (tacit collusion). A price leader will then emerge and sets the general industry price, with other firms following suit. For example see the case of British Salt Limited and New Cheshire Salt Works Limited.
