GAME CHANGER

There has never been a popular book on Game Theory quite as useful as this one.

Focused primarily on the Prisoner’s Dilemma, the most common form of strategic interaction, Game Changer consists of a series of real-world case studies, some from business, some from medicine, and some from history. The goal of the book is to introduce the reader to agame-theory approach to life, which recognizes that the game can always be changed. McAdams shows the reader how to win a consistent strategic advantage over competitors. Part 1 builds awareness of how to change strategic interactions in the reader’s favor. Part 2 presents six tales of pressing strategic problems, from how to keep prices low on the Internet to how to win the battle with infectious diseases. Throughout, a lightness of tone and touch keep the reader engaged and invested. David McAdams (Ph.D. Stanford, 2001) is Full Professor of Economics at the Duke University Fuqua School of Business. He specializes in Game Theory and Strategy, and has been published in all the top journals of his field. This is his first book.
