Abstract

The fact that producers seek to stabilise price and volume competition in local markets does not entail that all means of competition have been removed. Rather, competition focuses on other activities. In such cases, we will refer to the competitive process as one of rivalry rather than competition. Therefore, in what follows, the word competition will primarily refer to situations where producers focus on price and volume in order to gain or defend market share. Rivalry will refer to competition based on other factors, such as customer service, product quality, the preemption of the best production sites, the search for cost advantages over competitors, and improvements in distribution networks.
