Abstract
Antitrust challenges have increasingly shaped competitive dynamics across industries, particularly affecting small and low-income firms that struggle to coexist with dominant market players. This study introduces the intersection of antitrust regulation, corporate strategy, and innovation, emphasizing ethical leadership, motivational governance, and sustainable growth amid regulatory pressure. It highlights how companies navigate competition through adaptive business models, collaborative missions, and market-driven resilience, with particular attention to the food industry’s global landscape. Cultural preservation, regulatory compliance, and strategic diversification emerge as critical factors influencing firm survival and expansion. Drawing on international contexts—including the United States, Korea, and Indonesia—the introduction frames antitrust enforcement as both a constraint and a catalyst for innovation. Ultimately, the paper positions antitrust challenges not merely as legal obstacles but as opportunities for redefining competitiveness, equity, and long-term sustainability within modern capitalist economies.
