This dissertation studies the factors that have an effect on the entry decisions of the firms in a market. It focuses on the case of Greek islands, where the markets are geographically isolated, studying the gas stations' markets. The results indicate that variables such as the population of the market, its size, distance from Piraeus and the percentages of Greek/foreign firms in a market are some of the variables having an impact on the total number of operating gas stations.
