A no-hassle introduction of game theory
A great way to understand game theory, the authors clearly explain the principles and rules that dictate strategic decisions. The book is very didactic as it has a lot of case studies that allow you to smoothly shift from theory to execution

Pop version of game theory
This book is a good read as far as story-telling goes. However, from the perspective of game theory, it leaves much to be desired, as it does not seek to define the major theories and it does not provide a reasonable explanation for the particular tools and their application. It is clear that the book is written for those not interested in the more technical aspects of game theory, so if that is you, you should consider this book. It seems to me, however, that the organization of this book is missing exactly what the book purports to deliver: strategic thinking.

A fun read
For anyone who enjoyed the movie A Beautiful Mind with Russel Crowe playing the Nobel prize winning Professor John Nash, this book does a great job explaining the principles behind Game Theory (prisoner's dilemma etc.) without being too mathematical. After reading you will see Strategy everywhere. Similar Products
