Scenario 1: Rogue division managers of serial colluding firms met without any experience in initiating or implementing a cartel, and without any advice or guidance from anyone at their firms, and were able to agree on effective cartel structures. Collusion is likely to be more profitable, more stable, and more frequent when a set of collusion-minded firms are linked in various ways.[1] Links can be forged by multi-product, multi-national firms in competition across product markets and geographic markets. FIRM PARTICIPATION IN APPREHENDED CARTELS We examined the entire record of cartel prohibition decisions by the European Commission. [Extracted from the article]
