  • Decision Making Under Uncertainty. To save on
    gasoline expenses, Edith and Mathew agreed to
    carpool together for traveling to and from work.
    Edith preferred to travel on I-20 highway as it
    was usually the fastest, taking 25 minutes in the
    absence of traffic delays. Mathew pointed out
    that traffic jams on the highway can lead to long
    delays making the trip 45 minutes. He preferred
    to travel along Shea Boulevard, which was longer
    (35 minutes), but rarely had traffic jams. Edith
    agreed that in case of traffic jams, Shea
    Boulevard was a reasonable alternative. Neither
    of them knows the state of the

  •  
  • Demand Elasticity. Please, read the article
    Hainer, R. (2010), provided in the required
    readings section for this week. The tobacco
    industry is a prime example to consider when
    talking about price elasticity of demand. While
    nicotine use can be addictive for many users, it
    is not addictive for the so-called "social
    smokers".

    Summer Lawn Care. They have been specializing in
    summer grass seeding, installation, and
    maintenance. Recently, the partners acquired
    special technology and know-how for winter grass
    installations and maintenance. They also added a
    tree cutting service as recent storms in the area
    had caused demand for this service to soar. One
    of the partners insists that the name of the
    business should change to Lawn and Tree Care, so

  • Strategic Behavior Oligopolies. An interesting
    example of strategic behavior comes from a 1997
    article about Microsofts investment in Apple
    (New Straits Times, 1997). The article is
    included in the Required Readings list. Facing
    tough anti-trust scrutiny from government
    agencies, Microsoft provided financial support to
    Apple in order to ensure Apples survival and,
    therefore, to ensure that competitiveness in the
    industry remains. Moreover, the partnership with
    Apple provided an additional market for
    Microsofts products the MS Office and the IE
    products were to be bundled with the MAC OS

  • Good Will in Price Bidding. Sometimes, a bidder
    on a work contract may bid lower than what would
    maximize his/her profit from the contract and the
    reason for that is to create goodwill (to
    increase expected future business from the
    buyer). How would you value the goodwill that is
    obtained in this way?

  • Game Theory and Strategic Behavior. Suppose that
    GE is trying to prevent Maytag from entering the
    market for high efficiency clothes dryers. Even
    though high efficiency dryers are more costly to
    produce, they are also more profitable as they
    command sufficiently higher prices from
    consumers. The following payoffs table shows the
    annual profits for GE and Maytag for the
    advertising spending and entry decisions that
    they are facing.
