SynopsisCovering all the essential topics for undergraduate courses, this is the ideal student introduction to game theory. It sets out the basics of the subject in a non-technical way and uses illustrations and examples to show its application to realistic, topical, and interesting problems ranging from strategic decision-making within companies to international environmental policy-making. All explanation is clear, well structured, and entirely accessible to students of both economics and business., Covering all the essential topics for undergraduate courses, this is the ideal student introduction to game theory. The book sets out the basics of the subject in a non-technical way. All discussion and explanation is clear, well structured, and entirely accessible to students of both economics and business.In addition to describing and explaining the basic theory, Game Theory uses illustrations and examples to show its application to realistic, topical, and interesting problems-ranging from strategic decision-making within companies to international environmental policy-making.The book also features exercises with accompanying solutions to allow the student to check progress throughout the course, and a guide to further reading at the end of each chapter., Game Theory: Introduction and Applications provides the student of business studies or economics with an introduction to the applications of game theory in a wide range of situations. Dr Romp avoids advanced mathematics, developing arguments with the extensive use of examples and diagrams to provide a textbook aimed at the second and third year undergraduate.
