Over deze cursus
Decision making by various entities can result in conflict or cooperation between these entities. Game theory deals with the mathematical modelling of these situations of conflict and cooperation and with the analysis of these models. We will provide a solid introduction to both cooperative game theory and noncooperative game theory. Subsequently, we will focus on several applications in the area of operations management.
