Game Theory

This is an introductory course in Game theory applied to an international business setting. 

The course presents:

• introductory notions about game theory (with evolution, definitions, components, classification, examples)
• game theory applied in real case studies (the "dialogue" between the United Kingdom and the European Union regarding Brexit)
• typical (books and journals) and atypical (movies and series) references related to game theory
• exercises with strategies and options available in games

However, a rhetorical question remains at the end of the course, which could be discussed in-depth in a further section related to game theory, namely what would happen if "win" and "lose" are no longer the only options when fighting in a war?
