Synopsis

Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It's the art of anticipating your opponent's next moves; knowing that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Using case studies, this title shows how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game theory component to it.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Here is a book that is rigorous, fun, and extremely useful all at the same time... Since reading it, I've been seeing everything in terms of game theory, and it feels like having put on a pair of x-ray goggles to view the world." - Diane Coyle, Business Economist. "Real-life illustrations and decision-making scenarios are plentiful as well as entertaining... It is an easy read and is written in a lively tone. Long live economics !" - John Burns, Times Higher Education. "Dixit and Nalebuff bring the theory and strategy across the goal line. They have achieved a sweeping work recommended for all readers in preparation for life's situations and business's most difficult battles, big and small." - Ivy McClatchy Tanvishut, Advances in Competitive Research. "I liked it so much, I read it twice." - Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics. "When you've finished this brilliant book, you will have learned an entirely new and very artful approach to making decisions." - Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind. "A wonderfully ingenious new presentation." - Thomas C. Schelling, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics.

Revue de presse

"It is an easy read and is written in a lively tone-which is not something I particularly recall from my lectures in the 1980s. Long live economics!" John Burns, The Times Higher Education "Unlike most of the ranks of management advice books which pad out bookshop business sections, here is one which is rigorous, fun and extremely useful all at the same time." --The Economist
