Entry and repositioning

Contents

Place in the Framework

Entry and repositioning rebut a merger challenge when new or shifted competition would prevent the predicted competitive harm.

Core Questions

  • Is entry timely, likely, and sufficient?
  • Can existing firms reposition quickly enough to replace lost competition?
  • What barriers to entry or expansion matter?
