Product Description

Review
A fascinating new book that can be read with real pleasure. . . . The problem is, of course that if Dixit and Nalebuff can improve your strategic IQ, they can improve your competitor's as well-and the Japanese rights were sold months ago. -- David Warsh

Synopsis
Uses game theory to create a set of basic strategic principles for sports, politics, business, and personal life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game-theory introduction, 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
The book is an easy read with lots of examples and case studies ranging from simplified business problems to the tactics of an american football coach. It's a good introduction into game-theory with only very limited mathematics (no formula can be found in the book). A definite recomendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A concise and readable popularisation of Game Theory., 14 Sep 1995
By A Customer
The authors write with clarity in a field which they have both academic and practical experience. If you are interested at all in Game Theory (and you should be), then this is a great introduction. Note: some mathematical thinking is involved.

5.0 out of 5 stars applied game theory, 21 Dec 2005
By Bernd Kotz (Essen, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is on strategic thinking. This is what you normally understand as game theory today. Game theory have become a mayor scientific discipline. After two Nobel prices it is a normal standard in economics. Dixit and Nalebuff describe the basics in game theory on a low level. They do not need to use mathematical equations to explain the context. The examples in this book are taken from politics, business and sports. There common model is the prison dilemma case. From this starting point they explain the various forms of co-operative behaviour to solve the games in life. The final result is to find a co-operative outcome with strategic moves. There are a lot of case studies in this book. It makes it easier to follow there ideas.
They show how deterrence was a good instrument in the cold war. They explain how a thread in business is taken on and when the thread is credible it is a good strategy to deter a potential competitor.
It is a book for everyone who is interested in strategic thinking. For the manager it is a good book for bargaining situations.
I read the book with pleasure because it makes business very simple and it is a joy to read.
