Section: Further strategies[edit]

This section is a mess. I've polished up the style a bit, but the substance is severely wanting. In particular I don't know what's meant by "Williamson Forsyth Peter"; the citation refers to Oliver E Williamson. — Sonata Green(talk) 10:01, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Examples of successful predatory pricing needed[edit]

This article is in desperate need of some unequivocal examples of a successful predatory pricing strategy, as defined in the lede: a commercial pricing strategy which involves the use of large scale undercutting to eliminate competition. This is where an industry dominant firm with sizable market power will deliberately reduce the prices of a product or service to loss-making levels to attract all consumers and create a monopoly.

We have examples of firms accused of using the strategy, but no unequivocal examples of the strategy being successful such that the firm manages to "attract all consumers and create a monopoly" followed by successfully raising the price so that the losses are more than made up for.
