Abstract
Under the continued forces of globalization, many companies face a broader and stronger competitive environment, which forces them to streamline their processes, cut costs and focus on their respective fields of excellence. The political strategy of many democratic countries is to shape this globalization by liberalizing the markets such that monopolies are reduced or avoided, in order to keep consumer prices in check.
