摘要

Nowadays, many mergers take place and industries tend to consolidate. The author claims to describe the observable fact of worldwide industrial consolidation and he is interested in business managers' motivations and behaviours. Since oligopolies are a common phenomenon, with this book he desires to contribute to the current discussion regarding this omnipresent trend, which already can be seen when for example drinking coffee. In the first chapter of Market Domination! the author explains key expressions like monopoly and the new oligopoly. He argues that there has always been an urge for companies to merge, but this urge has never been as strong as it is nowadays. Companies have the possibility to merge or acquire other companies, as long as it is within legal boundaries. In order to measure concentration, two methods are explained, namely the concentration ratio and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, where the last one is often used in courts concerning antitrust cases. In addition, in antitrust cases, market-definition, narrow or broad, can also be determining for the outcome of a process. Moreover, companies strive to be number one or two in the market, resulting in the fact that they often define a narrow market leading to more oligopolies.
