2 . How would Professor Bern 's (1995 ) biblical model for analysis of antitrust issues impact your answers

According to Professor Bern , the duty of each individual is to fully

br utilize the resources and capabilities that God has bestowed upon him This means that each should strive to produce the best product at the lowest cost , and should try to sell most of what he has produced

Taking in the context of this case , the intention of the Japanese manufacturers need to be determined as to whether they are selling at a discount to put the American manufacturers out of business , or because they produce more efficiently . According to the Bible , you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor . The Eighth commandment also forbids misinterpreting our relations with others . Hence , the Japanese manufacturers are not in violation of Professor Bern 's Biblical model However , if their intention is to drive out the competition then they 'll be in violation of the Biblical model

3 . Should a court considering this case conclude that there has been an antitrust violation ? Why or why not
