Prompt for Position Statement for Module #5 – Competition and Monopoly
For your position statement, you must respond to the prompt below. In your response consider the
concepts covered in this module as well as the readings assigned for Day #4.
Prompt:
Recently, several big tech companies have been experiencing increasing criticism for alleged
anticompetitive behavior. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple are currently under a broad anti-trust
review opened by the US justice department in July 2019. Facebook is under anti-trust investigation by
47 state attorneys general. Additionally, the European Union recently fined Google $2.7 billion for
manipulating its search results. Some US political candidates have observed these trends and are calling
for the break-up of big tech companies.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Amazon changed its product search algorithm to
prioritize items that generate higher profit margins for their company (including its own branded
products) over items that are better selling or more relevant to consumers. Products that are no longer
prioritized may include those sold through the site by third-party sellers.
Based on your analysis of the game day, readings, and class discussion in this module, do YOU believe
regulators step in to stop this behavior? Why or why not?
Position Statements – Format
The Position Statement may be no longer than 500 words, single-spaced. Font size, margins, and
number of pages are unrestricted due to the 500-word limit and single-spacing requirement.
The following information must appear at the top of the page:
§ Your name
§ Module name
§ Number of words
Position Statements - Submission
§ Submit your Position Statement online in Canvas.
§ Include your name and module name in the title of your file.
§ No emailed or late versions will be accepted.
Guidance for answering Position Statement:
ü Have you answered the question(s) asked by the prompt and included any other components of
the prompt in answering this/these question(s)? A well written response will clearly state a
position very early, if not at the beginning of your paper. Do not make the reader have to look
for your position. Taking a position means one position – not both sides.
ü Have you supported your position? Good support for your position should be clearly and
logically written. It should include specific references to class material and/or discussions. The
reader should be able to tell that your response reflects that you have been in this class (not an
answer that could have been written before you took this class).
ü What is the quality of your writing? Organized, spelling, grammar….. Do you need someone to
review it for you? Do you need to go to the writing center? Since you are limited to 500 words,
have you used your available words to support your position and fully answer the question?
This is an exercise in preparing a concise response.
ü Have you followed all the instructions? Name, module name, word count, file name, single-
spacing, etc.
ü In summaryàCreate a well written response that states your position, uses most of your
available words to provide support for your position, and includes at least one meaningful trade-
off related to your position.
