You need to pick any company and analyse its strategy regarding the market structure it operates in.
1) What strategies are applied in the company?
2) Is the company driven with the Profit maximisation, Revenue maximisation, or Sales (Market Share) maximisation?
3) Is this company approach compatible with the theoretic ideas on the success in such a market structure? (compare the basic theoretic suggestions for the company performance with the actual chosen direction; here, you need to compare the normative vs. positive approaches)

Your paper should be 8-10 pages single or 1.5 spaced. Longer papers are also OK.

Your paper should be 8-10 pages single or 1.5 spaced. Longer papers are also OK. There should be a short abstract, introduction where you explain what the topic is and the main questions to be addressed, the main analysis where you carry out the analysis, and conclusions or discussion (where you give your own opinion on the subject and for example the current state of affairs following the antitrust case if that is your topic). The main analysis may be split to more than one sections if you feel it is appropriate. For example one could be theoretical analysis and the other empirical analysis, or if you are writing about an antitrust case, economic theory and legal case. You should have two or more references. One reference could be the DOJ site. Online or even Wikipedia references are OK for recent developments. You can reference the textbook as well. One of your references should be a published research paper. 
For your topic, choose a firm or an industry that was subject to antitrust or regulation and write about it. For example you may expand on the topic of your class presentation. Please note that the presentation papers may be somewhat dated and a good paper would supplement that analysis with more on what has happened since the case. For example when it comes to NCAA in addition to the case in the paper there is also NCAA vs Alston and its aftermath. Another example, you may write about whether Amazon should be broken up and the current antitrust cases against it in the US and Europe. But that is more difficult subject.

“Even if a firm is losing money, it may be better to stay in business in the short run.” Is this statement ever true? If so, under what condition(s)?

1. In some instances this statement is true, the thought process behind this is that if a company’s revenue is more than the total variable cost then it’s making enough to cover that. It is quite common for some companies to lose money at certain points and for small periods of time, like when first starting a business the companies revenue isn’t going to be positive right away, in fact, companies may not see a profit for a few years after their company is launched, this is because everything costs money, and without putting money into it the person will never really get money out of it. If a company is making a good and they have a fixed cost and its profits exceed the fixed cost there is no need for the company to go out of business in the short run, as long as there is revenue coming in that covers the fixed cost of making a product then the company for a short time can survive without going out of business. When a company is making money but not quite enough money to cover its fixed cost that’s when it should consider going out of business this is because without making enough revenue to cover the fixed income of a business or a product there is no way for any product to be made or any company to run, because nothing is going to be coming from it without being able to cover that variable cost.
