Welcome to the “Code of Conduct: Fair Competition Laws” video lesson intended to explain the purpose of antitrust laws and how to follow them consistently. This lesson is the fourth of seven in the “Code of Conduct: Setting Expectations for Workplace Behavior” video course meant to help you understand and adhere to standards for appropriate conduct at work. Because things like trusts and monopolies can harm markets and drive up costs for consumers, antitrust and fair competition laws are enforced locally, nationally, and internationally. From bid rigging to price fixing, there are a lot of business practices that could violate these laws. After completing this lesson, viewers will understand what these violations are and how they should behave when interacting with competitors and customers.
