Master the Rules of
Competitive Behavior
Game theory—the scientific study of interactive, rational
decision making—helps us understand how and why we make
decisions. It also provides insights into endeavors in which we
cooperate or compete, such as biology, politics, and economics.
In Games People Play: Game Theory in Life, Business, and
Beyond, published scholar and award-winning Professor Scott P.
Stevens shows you how to confidently grasp the fundamentals of
this profoundly important field. Throughout these 24 enlightening
lectures, you explore game theory in a way that is both engaging and
easy to understand. You investigate some of the field’s classic games,
discover its real-world applications in areas such as business and war,
and encounter some of its greatest minds and the exciting theories
they developed.
