Applying game theory to competitive strategy

Reference no: EM1372826

In the summer ECMBA has a group assignment. Students are assigned to two person groups that have to make a 25 point paper applying game theory to competitive strategy. If both students work they each receive a payout of $200. If one student works and one student shirks, the hard-working student receives a payout of $150 and the shirking student receives a payout of $250. If both students shirk they each receive a payout of $185. (The monetary payoffs factor in the monetary value of the student's grade and the opportunity cost of time.)
