People, businesses and nations play a nonstop series of games, with stakes such as staying out of jail, gaining or controlling market share, or even winning wars. Games pervade your life, and if you don't recognize them, you get played. Duke University game-theory professor David McAdams urges you to learn "game-awareness." His examples are clear, easy and fun to read, even though much of the material is a little obvious and seems directed to those who are not very experienced in discerning how game playing patterns manifest in business. getAbstract recommends McAdams's approach to those interested in learning how game theory shows up just about everywhere, most notably, in strategic thinking.
