This book investigates monopoly policy in the UK from 1973-1995
using all of the monopoly cases which the Monopolies and Mergers
Commission (MMC) reported on during this period. It provides a
rigorous analysis of 14 detailed case studies, and focuses
specifically on those cases where the MMC sought to introduce
change through price controls, termination of anti-competitive
practices or divestment. It assesses how effective such measures
have been in combating problems such as monopoly pricing,
collusion, predatory and discriminatory pricing and different forms
of vertical restraint. From the evidence, the authors discuss the
strengths and weaknesses of current policy and examine the scope
for reform. This book will be of interest to students and
researchers interested in competition policy, industrial
organisation, the British economy and business strategy.
This study combines an industry level and a firm level analysis on
the wage and employment effects of multinational companies. This
has not been attempted in any previous work. In view of the
results, important questions are raised regarding how global
changes in the structure of production may affect labour markets
and the organisation of work in the future.
This text considers the impact of multinational firms and global
competition on labour markets. This study combines an industry
level and an analysis on the wage and employment effects of
multinational companies. The author explains how many foreign-owned
companies based in the UK pay higher wages in absolute terms than
to domestically-owned firms, but not sufficiently high to match
their even greater productivity. Hence, for foreign-owned firms the
share of wages in output or in total outcome generated tends to be
low. In view of this, important questions are raised regarding how
global changes in the structure of production may affect labour
markets and the organization of work in the future.
