Competitive Advantage: Superior Offer or Unfair Dominance?
对比了商业、经济和法律视角下的竞争优势，通过四个近期竞争政策案例，探讨了市场界定和贸易限制的关键问题，帮助企业和政策制定者理解如何评估竞争优势的社会后果。
The recent enforcement records of international competition policy authorities reveal a marked increase in antitrust investigations on charges of abuse of power and to competition. A review of policy discussions surrounding this development indicates that what initially appeared to be a periodic upsurge in regulatory interest in fact reflects a global trend towards more comprehensive and stringent competition controls. In the process, the very ingredients of business-school models for successful, long-term strategies may be, and in some instances have already been, interpreted as illegal monopolization. This apparent distancing between realities and competition standards requires companies and policy makers to engage in a dialogue on what it takes to attain, sustain, and exploit a and how to assess its consequences for society at large. This article contrasts the dominant business, economic, and legal perspectives on competitive advantage in terms of four recent competition policy cases. It formulates key questions with regard to market definition and permissible restraints to trade that need to be answered before business can efficiently tackle emerging patterns of industrial organization.
