Von Misi Babilon
Format:Taschenbuch
The book provides a good overview of game theory applications to everyday business situations like negotiating, contracting, bidding or conflict management. It presents in a very accessible way the theoretical background and relates it to specific situations providing recipes for appropriate strategies. For example related to bidding the concepts of common value and private value are presented followed by the description of their implication for different bidding settings. The result is a series of "best strategies" for buyers and sellers interacting in a bid.
Overall there aren't really any new or groundbreaking concepts presented, even the examples are sometimes borrowed from acknowledged works in the field. But nevertheless the selection is appropriate and reflects a good knowledge of the subject.
I would warmly recommend the book to all readers that have somehow came in contact with game theory and are eager to tap into its interesting application to business strategy.

The perfect non-technical and engaging intro to game theory
5. Dezember 2008
Von Scott Ashton
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I have greatly enjoyed both of John McMillan's books that I have read. This book was very concise, explained the subject in an engaging manner, was technical enough to get a feel for pure game theory as taught in an economics class, and was just an enjoyable read. I don't know how useful it would be to an actual manager (I'm not one.) but for me it provided the perfect introduction to game theory.
