14). The contents of this article applies to certain aspects of economics by responding to the following questions:
1. Why were the firms investigated for antitrust behavior?
2. What are some of the costs (pecuniary and nonpecuniary) associated with the antitrust behavior?

Investigation and Costs
Complaints from Chinese consumers saying they were getting overcharged when buying cars, auto parts, and maintenance services arose, so did many reports of fines from several car companies. “On September 11, the FAW-Volkswagen Sales Co., together with seven dealers of its luxury brand, Audi, were fined heavily. The same day, Chrysler Group China Sales Ltd. and three of its dealers were also held subject to financial penalties” (). This caused authorities to specifically investigate Qualcomm, Microsoft, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, and Japanese auto part makers. Therefore, the antitrust behaviors in this particular case consist of pecuniary costs, which are costs of or relating to money. Moreover, these antitrust behaviors are in violation of a specific act, which would be the Sherman Act. Violations of the Sherman Act include price-fixing, bid-rigging and market-allocation agreements.
Affects to Society
Monopolies are a market situation in which a single group or firm owns all of close to all of the
Trust is very important to us in our daily life. We rely on trust and it is the origin before we start to establish the relationship with others in this society. The trust is more like an intangible asset or advantage for us. As human being, if we lost trust with our friends, we will lose more than one of them because they will tell others that you can’t be trusted. If we lost trust with our bank, they will not give you credit anymore and your credit rating will decrease and this will give a domino effect. For example, you may not find a dream job or this might make passive impact to your careers.
One of the many things we take for granted in this world, the most common is trust. We grow stronger bonds with people everyday, not knowing how easily that bond can be broken. Trust is usually easily won, but once gone could take everything to earn back. In some cases that bond and that trust are never repaired. Not everything is meant to be repaired.
The concept of the most interest from the topics to choose from is trust. Basic to intense forms of trust are necessary for society to function on a day to day basis. Trust also is often a sensitive issue for people. When people experience traumas, the ability to trust is often something that is adversely affected, even across an array of traumas. The paper will perform an examination of trust because it is an essential part of life. Without trust there would be no kinds of relationships. In the 21st century more so than ever, the world is a networked society or community. Without relationships, there would be no networks and there would be a planet full of isolated and socially inept individuals probably with mental problems as well. Without trust, there would be no love, no families, no business, and no education.

An oligopoly describes a market situation in which there are limited or few sellers. Each seller knows that the other seller or sellers will react to its changes in prices and also quantities. This can cause a type of chain reaction in a market situation. In the world market there are oligopolies in steel production, automobiles, semi-conductor manufacturing, cigarettes, cereals, and also in telecommunications.
When working with clients on trust, many of whom work for corporations and are faced with issues of trust (or lack thereof) daily, understanding the three key elements of trust can be very helpful to them. My guess is they will also be helpful to you - first in enabling you to better distinguish specifically why you don 't trust someone and second in helping you become more effective in building trust yourself (or repairing it when damaged).
Apple’s Supplier Foxconn, came under intense scrutiny for its suspicious labor practices and suicide by its fourteen young workers at the Foxconn Shenzhen factory in 2010, followed by the explosion in Chengdu factory resulting in 3 deaths and sixteen injuries in 2011. In 2010 CLW also reported about several violations of China labor laws based investigation collected through off-site interviews and from its own staff who had purposefully worked in Foxconn factories as workers to gain real and accurate information. These reports puts a big question mark on the supplier responsibility reports and standards set by Apple.
More specifically, a Monopoly market structure is one where a single firm is the seller of a product in a market which therefore meaning it has the full market shares in a particular market. Monopolies are also characterised by a lack of competitors in a market, or viable substitutes to a good or service. Therefore, a firm in a monopoly enjoys the power of being a price maker in a market as it has no close competitors to influence price.
Oligopoly: Oligopoly is a market structure where there are a few sellers selling slightly different products to each other in the market but have significant influence in the market price. Examples banks and Airlines.

A Monopoly is a market structure characterised by one firm and many buyers, a lack of substitute products and barriers to entry (Pass et al. 2000). An oligopoly is a
* The definition monopolistic competition is firms which in effect hold a monopoly over their products, in that the firm is able to influence the market price of its product by altering the rate of production. Monopolistic competitive firms produce products that are not perfect substitutes or are at least perceived to be different to all other brands products. Unlike in perfect competition, the monopolistic competitive firm does not produce at the lowest possible average total cost. Instead, the firm produces at an inefficient output level, reaping more in additional revenue than it incurs in additional cost versus the efficient output level.

In economics, monopoly refers to a “situation in which a single company or group owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service.
