Background
Deloitte’s paper addresses the following and uses these as its structure:
- The approach to assessing entry and expansion
- Opportunities for entry
- Intrinsic factors
- Strategic barriers
- Incumbency advantages and reputation
- Regulatory barriers
Key findings
The paper finds that while the CC has set out a very wide range of potential barriers to entry, in practice Deloitte believes that there is little evidence that any is significant; and that it is critical that the CC takes more than a theoretical approach to the issue of barriers to entry and expansion.
