WHAT DOES ANTICOMPETITIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

anticompetitive

Anti-competitive practices

Anti-competitive practices are business, government or religious practices that prevent or reduce competition in a market. These can include: ▪ Dumping, where a company sells a product in a competitive market at a loss. Though the company loses money for each sale, the company hopes to force other competitors out of the market, after which the company would be free to raise prices for a greater profit. ▪ Exclusive dealing, where a retailer or wholesaler is obliged by contract to only purchase from the contracted supplier. ▪ Price fixing, where companies collude to set prices, effectively dismantling the free market. ▪ Refusal to deal, e.g., two companies agree not to use a certain vendor ▪ Dividing territories, an agreement by two companies to stay out of each other's way and reduce competition in the agreed-upon territories. ▪ Limit Pricing, where the price is set by a monopolist at a level intended to discourage entry into a market. ▪ Tying, where products that aren't naturally related must be purchased together. ▪ Resale price maintenance, where resellers are not allowed to set prices independently.
