Abstract
The US Supreme Court has stated, “The content of the Internet is a diverse as human thought.” It may also be surmised that the Internet is nothing more than a new medium and that the application of competition law to the Internet may be as broad as all of competition law itself. The diversity of the Internet constitutes a guide to finding thoughtful competition law solutions to e‐commerce phenomena under EU law in (i) merger control, (ii) horizontal and vertical restraints analysis under Article 81 EC (exclusive distribution, selective distribution, music licensing), (iii) abuse of dominant position under Article 82 EC.

Abstract
EURONET medical users' course. A pilot course for EURONET users in the domain of medical and related subject information will be held at the University of Sheffield Postgraduate School of Librarianship & Information Science, from the 6th to the 9th December 1977, subject to final negotiation of a contract with Directorate‐General XIII of the Commission of the European Communities. It will inform experienced information workers, especially in the medical and related subject areas, of the technical potential, economic aspects and expected development of the network. These intermediaries will, in turn, be expected to be involved nationally in the training of further intermediaries in EURONET use and promotion.

Abstract
Purpose
Because stereotypically masculine behaviors are required for effective leadership, examining female chairs’ leadership in academic medicine can provide insight into the complex ways in which gender impacts on their leadership practices. The paper aims to discuss this issue.
Design/methodology/approach
The author interviewed three female clinical chairs and compared the findings to interviews with 28 of their faculty. Grounded theory analysis of the subsequent text gathered comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth information about this case of interest at a US top-tier academic medical center.
Findings
Four of five themes from the faculty were consistent with the chair’s narrative with modifications: Prior Environment (Motivated by Excellence), Tough, Direct, Transparent (Developing Trust), Communal Actions (Creating Diversity of Opinion), and Building Power through Consensus (an “Artful Exercise”) with an additional theme, the Significance (and Insignificance) of a Female Chair. While faculty members were acutely aware of the chair’s gender, the chairs paradoxically vacillated between gender being a “non-issue” and noting that male chairs “don’t do laundry.” All three female chairs in this study independently and explicitly stated that gender was not a barrier, yet intuitively used successful strategies derived from the research literature.
Originality/value
This study suggests that while their gender was highlighted by faculty, these women dismissed gender as a “non-issue.” The duality of gender for these three female leaders was both minimized and subtly affirmed.
