Ürün bağlama ve paket satışlar yoluyla hakim durumun kötüye kullanılması

Ürün bağlama ve paket satıs uygulaması gündelik yasamımızda çok farklı çesitlerde karsımıza çıkmaktadır. Söz konusu uygulamaların yaygın olması ve genel kabul görmesi bir anlamda onların etkinliklerine isaret etmekle birlikte, bu özellikle hakim durumda olan ya da piyasa gücüne sahip olan tesebbüslerin yaptıkları bu tür uygulamaların piyasadaki rekabet üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olabileceği de görülmektedir. Bu çalısmada, ürün bağlama ve paketleme uygulamalarının iktisadi çerçevesinin çizilmesini müteakip, Amerika Birlesik Devletleri, Avrupa Birliği ve Türkiye’de alınan kararlar ısığında bunların ne sekilde değerlendirilmesi gerektiği tartısılmaktadır.

Abuse of dominant position via tying or bundling

Tying and bundling are common practices that we come across in different cloaks everyday. Even though their widespread application and recognition in business may point out their possible efficiencies, it is also seen that they may have anticompetitive effects, especially when they are employed by dominant undertakings or undertakings that have market power. In this paper, after exploring theoretical aspects of tying and bundling from the perspective of economics, prominent cases from three jurisdictions, namely US, EU and Turkish are discussed in order to bring a perspective on the assessment of tying and bundling practices.
