NON-PRICE PREDATION

Statistics Directorate    
Definition:
Non-price predation is a form of strategic behaviour that involves raising rivals' costs. It is potentially less costly and hence more profitable than predatory pricing. Typical methods include using government or legal processes to disadvantage a competitor. A firm may be able to force competitors to incur significant litigation or administrative costs, at little cost to itself.
