Part B: Abuse of power As a new entrant, Cycloplatform’s inability to increase market share and tenders could be explained by other competitor’s economies of scale and city council’s preference on the brand name of larger bike sharing services. There is no concern on the market share of the 3 major competitors as the CCA is focused on abuse of power over the accumulation of power through aggressive competition. Under the assumption the tenders are taken by the other three major competitors it is possible for market division to exist between the companies but there is no empirical evidence. There is also the possibility of abuse of power by competitors under s 46 . Despite this, competition law does not interfere with competitive practices …show more content…
This has resulted with Cycloplatform’s maintenance contracts unworkable and losing revenue alluding to implications of deterring or preventing Cycloplatform from engaging in competitive conduct in the market under s 46(1)(c) . Greenbike’s use of its substantial market power would breach the CCA on the condition it was for the purpose of eliminating or substantially damaging a competitor under s46(1)(a) . Furthermore, it is not necessary to establish the relevant purpose was the only purpose or the main purpose. The two-step process taken into consideration in the Melway case subsumes whether the disputed conduct was materially facilitated the firm’s possession of a substantial degree of power and any rational business justification of the firm’s conduct. It does appear likely that Greenbike’s action was facilitated by its market power but there are no conclusive proof as even smaller competitors could do the same if their parts are exclusively made. However, there is no rational justification for the difference in
The President’s responsibilities seem to be endless and with such responsibility comes certain defined powers to handle those responsibilities. The Presidents power to act unilaterally enables the president to act in a formal capacity without the support of congress. The President must do so with justification or the President can be found in violation of the Constitutional powers received by the executive branch. There has continued to be a trend of more Presidents exercising their unilateral powers more frequently. There are many occasions in the history of this great nation where the President has had to act without the support of congress and has changed the shape of the nation forever.
The main decision for Chembright is in regards to the pricing of their products specifically bleach, which is Chembright’s main product, and how their main competitor R.J. Poulson is pricing theirs bleach in order to get rid of the competition. This has caused Chembright to be unable to compete at these prices since there isn’t any profit margin for them if they lower their price as R.J. Poulson. Therefore Chembright has to stop the price war with R.J Poulson to be able to maintain their products in these markets. Now Chembright is facing the issue of how to retain their customer’s without lowering their prices, since regardless of

The issues involving the Virginia plan gave too much power to the national government have been a popular topic amongst scholars for many years. The Virginia plan was a proposal by Virginia delegates for a bicameral legislative branch. The plan was drafted by James Madison while he waited for a quorum to assemble at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. There are many factors which influenced the development of the Virginia plan that gave too much power to the national government. The Virginia plan gave too much power to the national government by all the plans James Madison formed to create a new form of government plan which are the Executive Branch, Judicial Branch, and Legislative Branch. I plan

What is interesting in this analysis is that the four cities under consideration – Berlin, London, Madrid and Paris are, naturally, all parts of the EU political and legal framework. It is worth noting that one of the biggest names in a ridesharing business – Uber – has faced considerably more obstacles on its rise to prominence in Europe, compared to the United States, where it originated. As it appears, in Europe, traditional modes of transportation business prove to be a bigger resistance towards ride-sharing business. . And in fact, currently there are undergoing discussions at the European Commission on the
I feel the system is biased because there are inequalities among the representation and participation of interest groups and constituents in the political system. Unfortunately, poor and uneducated citizens aren’t as organized as interest groups, lobbyists and PACs because they lack the money, resources and connections necessary to influence congress members on legislative bills. It is evident that, “businesses, interest groups and labor unions are spending more than $100 million a month to lobby the federal government”(Associated Press, SFC, 3/7/98). “The actual population of interest groups in Washington surely reflects that there is a class bias in the membership of interest groups”(JBG).
Any government with total control is worth being feared and having a group of individuals who go against their government. With complete control, a government is capable of committing acts against their citizens, which can be perceived as “something good” from the government’s point of view. In 1984 by George Orwell, and “Harrison Bergeron”, by Kurt Vonnegut, the main characters, Winston and Harrison, feel oppressed by the government's acts and events, try to overthrow their government, and go through a realization of hopelessness and defeat.

The body, mind, and soul of an individual are capable of becoming corrupted by power. Power makes one feel as if that person was a God, which is a sign of the corruption in that individual. According to Lord Actin, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely," states that power can make an individual vulnerable to corruption. The second portion of Lord Actin?s quote discusses absolute power corrupting absolutely which implies that absolute power can corrupt an individual as well as the individual?s surroundings. This idea of corruption can be located in fictional novels such as Animal Farm by George Orwell. Animal Farm is a story about animals dictated by a former animal comrade. The dictator in the novel, Napoleon,
The power of manipulation is a very powerful tool and can easily be misused to benefit
The concept of power is present within various realms of all organizations. Power, however, is not something that should necessarily be looked at negatively. There are justifiable types of power that may be important to criminal justice organizations. The main role of power in criminal justice administration should be to gain compliance from subordinates of all types, and turn that power over time into acceptable forms of authority (Stojkovic et al., 2008). It is for this reason that power is an important attribute in criminal justice agencies.
Whether or not Better Brakes Manufacturing (manufacturer) can enforce the RRP term in its contract upon Steve Auto Supplies Pty Ltd (dealer) and Mick’s Mechanics (retailer) depends on whether consideration has been given, determining the parties to an enforceable contract. Under the consideration rule, consideration must move from the promisee, emphasised in Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co Ltd v Selfridge & Co Ltd . The facts of the assigned case parallels that of Dunlop, and thus, is a direct precedent for the issue presented in the case. A contract exists between the manufacturer and retailer completed by consideration, its presence confirmed by the existence and entry to an exclusive contract . Subsequently, a contract exists between the dealer and the retailer given the obtainment of an undertaking agreeing to abide by the manufacturer’s price. On the other hand, no consideration was given by the manufacturer to the retailer for its promise, therefore, the promise cannot be enforced .
People want power because it gives them control and dominance over others. Power gives the person who has it the ability to do whatever they want, say whatever they want and make people do what they want. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller the whole plot revolves around the theme of power. There is a never ending conflict of characters to keep, assert and acquire power. The most prominent characters that ultimately hurt the community the most due to their greed and lust for power are Deputy Governor Danforth, Reverend Parris and Abigail Williams. Although their relationship with power is different from one another they all have one thing in common. Parris, Danforth and Abigail all contribute to the demise of Salem because of their
Porter five forces analysis is strategic analyses tool to understand the level of competition within an industry. The attractiveness of the industry is found by analysing five forces. In this context, the attractiveness of the industry is how profitable the industry is for the business and unattractive industry is the one where there is "pure competition". firms are driven to normal profit.

Here, we will use porter five forces to see how it applies to bicycle Industry.
