A new company has started to become very competitive in your geographic areas. The first step they took was to slash prices. The second was stealing some of your best sales and manufacturing personnel. As a result, they have been able to go down the learning curve a lot faster, thus increasing their overall revenue. In a meeting with some of your people, the idea is brought up that you could increase the competition's costs by tying them up through litigation and state administrative action. Some local government officials owe you favors because your company has made campaign contributions in the past. Some other sources tell you the new company has over extended themselves, meaning their debt/equity ratio is very high. They probably couldn't survive a protracted legal battle or some legislation that's been designed to negatively impact their bottom line and not yours. Many more suggestions are brought up, but the first one is the only one that has a chance of success.
