A Guide to Game Theory explains the important concepts and
techniques without using mathematical language or methods. Using a
wide range of examples and applications this book covers decision
problems confronted by firms, employers, unions, footballers,
partygoers, politicians, governments, non-governmental organisations
and communities. Written for undergraduate students with little or no
prior knowledge of game theory. This book supports any game theory
module on an economics degree or indeed any course that addresses
strategic problem solving.

decision problems confronted by firms, employers, unions,
