Systems Competition Invitational Symposium - Washington D.C.

June 17, 2009

On June 17, the American Antitrust Institute will host a Systems Competition Invitational Symposium focusing on recent policy changes surrounding systems competition. AAI’s interest in systems competition issues recognizes the expanding body of legal, economic, business, and technical experience with rivalry within and between systems. As systems become more prevalent and strategic competition plays a more prominent role in their development and maintenance, competition policy will increasingly have to address systems-related issues in merger, monopolization, and even collusion cases. The goal of the symposium is to build on existing economic and legal analysis of systems to offer insights into how antitrust enforcement should address competitive issues that are arising with increasing frequency. Among the questions that the symposium will address are:

  • How can insight into the ways in which systems are designed and managed help antitrust enforcement address competitive problems?
  • How can strategic management decisions contribute to the development of “open” and “closed” systems and to the transformation from one mode to the other, thereby affecting antitrust enforcement priorities?
  • How can the traditional tools of antitrust analysis apply to systems issues or should enforcement look to new or different methods to evaluate systems-based competitive issues?

The program agenda can be downloaded here. The registration period is April 20-June 10, 2009.

If you would like to request an invitation to this symposium, please contact aai@antitrustinstitute.org.
