學員在課上和網上的互動賽局中運用賽局理論，可以參考賽局網頁上的描述。三個小組作業包括了一個實際的應用。

Students use game theory in the interactive games they play against each other both in class and online, as described on the games page. The three team assignments include a real-world application.

這半學期的課程考察了我們所做的決定如何影響別人，以及別人的選擇如何影響我們。當環境變化不定時，這種情況被稱為「賽局」和賽局參與，雖然聽似古怪，但卻是一件重要的事務。經理人常常要參與「賽局」，其對手即有公司內別的部門、他的下屬等等，也有公司外的競爭者、客戶、政府機構甚至是資本市場﹗本門課程的目標是加強學員在複雜的、互相影響的環境中策略思考的能力。賽局理論的知識會讓你在這樣的策略環境中佔有優勢。本課程圍繞三個「在賽局中獲得優勢的主題」安排︰承諾／策略遷移、發掘隱藏的訊息及有限合理性。

This half-term course examines the choices that we make which affect others and the choices others make that affect us. Such situations are known as "games" and game-playing, while sounding whimsical, is serious business. Managers frequently play "games" both within the firm and outside it – with competitors, customers, regulators, and even capital markets! The goal of this course is to enhance a student's ability to think strategically in complex, interactive environments. Knowledge of game theory will give students an advantage in such strategic settings. The course is structured around three "themes for acquiring advantage in games": commitment / strategic moves, exploiting hidden information, and limited rationality.
