How did Alcoa maintain its dominant position in the production of aluminum? It owned or controlled most of the world's supply of bauxite. It had an exclusive franchise granted by NATO. No one else was interested in producing aluminum It was a leading member of the aluminum cartel.

Answer:

It owned or controlled most of the world's supply of bauxite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that, the term domain position refers to Alcoa's monopolistic advantage it had of exclusive access to the primary raw material bauxite.

Any company having such advantage that Alcoa had would maintain a dominant position over its competitors.
