Building Awareness

Sometimes competition policy is viewed as an obstacle to business because the theory behind it is not widely understood.

Reaching out to educate the business community about the benefits of competition will promote a competition culture and garner support for the competition authorities’ mission. These types of activities reinforce the role of the competition agency as a competition advocate and proponent for market-based solutions. Another important aspect of building awareness is educating businesses to prevent them from becoming victims of anti-competitive behaviour.
