Résumé
Cet article porte sur l’étude de la dynamique concurrentielle d’un marché composé de concurrents monopoints et propose d’apporter un regard nouveau sur la notion de retenue mutuelle, habituellement analysée entre concurrents multipoints. L’article examine le marché de la téléphonie mobile en Algérie autour du lancement de la 3G, un événement majeur censé stimuler la concurrence, en mobilisant les séquences stratégiques multidimensionnelles comme cadre d’analyse. Les résultats montrent une désescalade de l’affrontement concurrentiel suite au lancement de la 3G et ainsi l’émergence de la retenue mutuelle entre concurrents monopoints. Ils permettent également d’expliquer les facteurs et mécanismes associés à cette dernière.

Abstract
This paper investigates mutual forbearance as a rivalrous mode in a sector with single-market competitors. For this purpose, we use multidimensional strategic sequences as a theoretical lens to analyze the evolution of competitive interactions in the Algerian mobile telecommunications sector following the introduction of third-generation wireless mobile telecommunications technology (3G), an event expected to stimulate competition. The findings show a de-escalation of competitive aggressiveness after the 3G introduction and reveal the existence of mutual forbearance among single-market competitors. This paper discusses the factors and mechanisms of mutual forbearance in sectors with single-market competitors.
Keywords:
- Mutual forbearance,
- single-market competitors,
- deregulation,
- multidimensional strategic sequences
Resumen
Este artículo investiga la tolerancia mutua como un modo rival en un sector con competidores en el mercado único. Para este propósito, utilizamos las secuencias estratégicas multidimensionales como lente teórico para analizar la evolución de las interacciones competitivas en el sector de las telecomunicaciones móviles de Argelia tras la introducción de la tercera generación de tecnología de telecomunicaciones móviles inalámbricas (3G), un evento que supuestamente estimula la competencia. Los resultados muestran una disminución de la agresividad competitiva tras la introducción de la 3G y revelan la existencia de tolerancia mutua entre los competidores del mercado único. El documento analiza los factores y mecanismos de tolerancia mutua en los mercados con empresas de mercado único.
Palabras clave:
