Abstract

Antitrust agencies patrol the main streets and the back alleys of industries in search of violations of antitrust laws. I review the two main forms of antitrust violation: structural and behavioral. In the second half of the chapter, I turn to tactics that managers use to evade and thwart antitrust agents. The tactics belong to four categories: structural, behavioral, legal, and “capturing.” Before closing, I suggest that trustbusters and managers always have the option of changing the game that they play: stop fighting and go for arbitration. That is, they may seek regulation instead. This suggests that antitrust and regulation are two sides of the same coin.
