With an estimated market share of 60%, Atlas is the market leader in an oligopolistic steel industry. The remaining market share is distributed equally between ten companies.

Calculate the “Four Firm Ratio” and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index “HHI” in the above described market and interpret your answer. What is your opinion regarding the effect of Norton’s attempt described above on Atlas’s market share: will it increase, decrease, or not affected at all? Justify your answer
