'If you operate in a market, competition law is already part of your business-whether you realize it or not. Waiting until competition authorities knock on your door may mean that your most important decisions have already been made.'Most business leaders master the art of beating the competition but leave the 'boring' legal details entirely to their lawyers. By the time the lawyers are called in, however, the damage may already be done. And if the defense team does not truly understand competition law, its rescue attempts can make matters even worse-as illustrated by one memorable case in which counsel tried to impress the court with basic economics, arguing: 'Since textbooks state that there is only one price in a perfectly competitive market, our clients simply agreed to fix that very price.'The Competition Game breaks down complex legal frameworks through an engaging and accessible narrative. Barış Ekdi takes readers behind the scenes of antitrust enforcement-from high-stakes international cartels to unexpected violations across different industries-answering three essential questions: What does competition law prohibit? Why does it exist? And how is it enforced in practice?Inside, you will discover:The Core Rules: Understand anticompetitive agreements, abuse of a dominant market position, and merger control-without the legal jargon.How Violations Happen: Learn how emails, industry conversations, and routine business practices can trigger investigations and substantial penalties.Proactive Protection: Identify hidden antitrust risks early and build a resilient compliance framework.Whether you are a seasoned CEO, an ambitious entrepreneur, or a student of economics and law, The Competition Game provides the strategic toolkit you need to compete confidently without crossing legal lines.Barış EKDİ LL.M. (Cambridge), brings nearly three decades of experience on both sides of the regulatory table. He served at the Turkish Competition Authority for 16 years, from its establishment until 2013, progressing from Assistant Competition Expert to Head of the Enforcement Department, before transitioning to private practice.
