Most books on game theory either focus on specialized applications (cardplaying, business, nuclear war) or bore with mathematics and jargon. Free of formulas and argot, this refreshing exception distills the principles, concepts, tools and techniques--brinkmanship, bargaining, unconditional moves, vicious circles, etc.--with an astonishing diversity of illustrative examples drawn from political campaigns, baseball, neighborhood dynamics of segregation, the military draft, speed limits, childrearing and so forth. In helping strategists anticipate rivals' responses and win the game, economics professors Dixit and Nalebuff (who teach game theory at Princeton and Yale, respectively) provide managers, negotiators, athletes, parents and other game-players with a formidable weapon. Drawings. BOMC, Fortune Book Club and QPB selections.

A fascinating new book that can be read with real pleasure....The problem is, of course, that if Dixit and Nalebuff can improve your strategic IQ, they can improve your competitor's as well.
Game theory grew out of WW II and the minds of the von Neumanns and Morgensterns, the linear programmers and pundits at RAND, Princeton, M.I.T., and others adroit at the rigors of logical reasoning. Dixit (Game Theory/Princeton) and Nalebuff (Game Theory/Yale) are worthy successors, providing a popular exposition in the spirit of The Compleat Strategyst and Strategy in Poker, Business, and War. Interestingly, the authors define game theory as a branch of behavioral science - a definition that might lull the reader to believe that we are dealing with ways to psych out your opponent, bluff in poker, or otherwise act deviously for personal gain. To some extent this is true. However, the techniques illustrated in a rich sampling of cases (from improving your tennis to defeating a hostile takeover) repeatedly make use of the tree diagrams and payoff matrices familiar to game theory as a mathematical discipline. So the reader is introduced to the concepts of zero-sum (you win, I lose) games, sequential versus simultaneous games, "minmax" theorems, cooperative versus competitive games, and the art of mixing strategies to maximize outcomes. This is done with minimal math (at times too minimal!) but oft-repeated slogans, e.g., "Look forward and reason backward." The reader is encouraged to apply the principles developed in each chapter to case studies presented: labor-management negotiations, contract and auction bidding, brinkmanship in the Middle East, maximizing employee productivity, running for President, sentencing a defendant. . .as well as variations on the theme of the prisoner's dilemma and other classic puzzles. It is gratifying that the authors introduce value judgments into the discussion and even demonstrate that, in more cases than you would suspect, it pays to be honest. Surprising, too, are cases where choosing a less favorite outcome can achieve what you really want. Good and thought-provoking.

用策略思维来理解和预测经济政策
-
- peterq 畅销10多年的博弈论经典读物,将策略由艺术变成了一种科学,同时也将马基亚维利理论和厚黑学放入了理性的选择中。策略思维是个能力放大器,而不管你的目的如何。在中国这个缺乏契约教育和监管的国度中,学会策略思维能更好地保护自己。本书分成3个部分,逻辑性一般,内容有些庞杂,不熟悉博弈论可能要读很多遍才能读懂。 第一部分...... (4回应)2008-12-23 5/5有用来自 中国人民大学出版社2003版

简单的博弈论
-
- 康泉(我说功能暂停使用) 简单的博弈论。大量商界、政界、日常的案例,深入浅出的分析,简单的数学和图表。可以费些脑力去思考研究,也可以像我一样,只是大致扫过那些博弈的故事。 引用译者的话:它(指《策略思维》)要告诉读者,生活本身就是一场一环扣一环的漫长博弈,我们时时刻刻需要做出这样或那样的决策。所以建议大家都来学一点博弈论的基本知识。这样来...... (1回应)2007-10-11 来自 中国人民大学出版社2003版
语言有点晦涩,内容还行
-
- ziqian 原作者的案例用得比较多,但是语言感觉稍嫌啰嗦,不知是不是翻译的原因,感觉有些专有名词翻译得不是很好如“优势策略”很多网站都是用的“占优策略”,个人也觉得“占优策略”比较形象。整体感觉语言晦涩了些,《活学活用博弈论》同样讲博弈策略,也属普及型读物,语言就简洁流畅得多。......2009-02-11 来自 中国人民大学出版社2003版
