Summary of The Art of Strategy (Avinash Dixit and Barry Nalebuff)
1. What is it?
2. What are the basic rules of game theory?
3. Applying game theory to strategic thinking
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
To become skilled at strategic thinking and genuinely master the art of strategy, you should become familiar with the basic principles and concepts of the formal academic discipline known as game theory
. The reasons why:
Game theory underpins how good strategic decisions are made in business and in life.
Game theory is the art of understanding others based on what they do, not merely what they say.
Game theory allows you to anticipate and preempt how others will respond while you offer them options.
Game theory provides a framework for soliciting the cooperation of others, even when they are motivated by ulterior motives.
In all, good strategic thinking still remains an art but if you understand the basic principles and ideas of game theory, you position yourself to become a better strategic thinker.
Strategic thinking is the art of outdoing an adversary, knowing that the adversary is trying to do the same to you. It is also the art of finding ways to cooperate, even when others are motivated by self-interest, not benevolence. It is the art of convincing others, and even yourself, to do what you say. It is the art of interpreting and revealing information. It is the art of putting yourself in others’ shoes so as to predict and influence what they will do.
