Simply knowing that people behave strategically is not a recipe for success, but acquiring a framework for strategic thinking is. This course gives students the competitive edge to anticipate, formulate and analyze strategic interactions. You will learn how to acquire and process information to act effectively in strategic situations, based on analysis of the motivations of other participants. You will also learn how to incentivize and motivate users, collaborators and customers to further the objectives of an organization, community or society. This course is designed with the School of Information MSI students as the primary audience. It is the pre-requisite for several IEM courses. To be well-prepared for management and analysis in the information profession you need to have a solid grounding in game theory and its applications to problem solving. Thus, the primary objective is to teach you a set of useful theories and how to apply them to solve problems. The emphasis is on methods and applications. You will, consequently, be expected to do a lot of problem-solving homework. It is essential to practice the skills if you want to learn how to use them (and to succeed in the course).
