Concentration: The Dominant Strategic Behavior of the Coming Decade

Chapter 16 in Strategic Thinking for Turbulent Times, 2014, pp 138-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The USA was, for years, the scene of a measure of industry concentration or the dominance of key industries by a few operators (United States Census Bureau, n.d.) A merger and acquisition (M&A) drive drove this process and led to the emergence of visibly high concentration industries such as automobiles, beverages, cigarettes, and retailing. However, this was not limited to the USA. Similar con- centrative moves were witnessed in countries such as Great Britain and Germany, and in global industries such as steel and air transportation. Global M&A transactions were the prime instruments of concentration (Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorp LLP, 2013).
