4. Best responses in soccer and business partnerships
Game Theory (ECON 159)
We continue the idea (from last time) of playing a best response to what we believe others will do. More particularly, we develop the idea that you should not play a strategy that is not a best response for any belief about others’ choices. We use this idea to analyze taking a penalty kick in soccer. Then we use it to analyze a profit-sharing partnership. Toward the end, we introduce a new notion: Nash Equilibrium.

Fuld War Game 2009: Microsoft – Columbia Business School team attempts deal with Kaiser Permanente
In the war game simulation, The Battle for Healthcare Information, Columbia University business school students, playing the roll of Microsoft, had to respond to market pressures. Most important: Watch the resistance from the Kellogg team, playing managed care giant Kaiser Permanente, resist Microsofts aggressive stance as the Microsoft/Columbia team tries to piece together its 2010-2011 future strategy.
The Battle for Healthcare Information, held in New York City on April 3, 2009, is the fifth national war game championship organized and run by Fuld & Company, the global leader in competitive intelligence. In this public war game event, four top business schools predict the most prominent companies in the healthcare information technology and healthcare delivery industries will quickly move to create alliances and in certain cases merge with their rivals, to take advantage of the government push to adopt electronic medical records (EMRs).
Teams assumed the identity of four major healthcare icons simulating and stress testing their anticipated strategies to determine who will profit from the adoption of EMRs. The Obama administrations injecting $19 billion to kick-start this nascent electronic medical records industry just gets the players moving. It is no guarantee you will see universal adoption of electronic records in healthcare anytime soon. The teams included:
Columbia Business School Microsoft
MIT Sloan School of Management McKesson
Northwesterns Kellogg School of Management Kaiser Permanente
University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School of Business Allscripts
MITs team, simulating the McKesson strategies, won the war game competition based on four criteria: the teams strategic insight, accuracy in presenting McKessons strategy, creative ways it expressed McKessons culture and goals, and finally, its ability to project their strategic vision into the future. Last years war game on The Battle for the Wireless Internet, won by the Kellogg MBA team, successfully predicted a number of industry alliances.

FUNKY BUSINESS IDEA – WHITE EYES PROGRAM – PRESENTATION
The text was not in English. Sorry for the translation. But thanks for Google Translate the text in English.
I’m funky-businessman. My name Symbol Sun. And I am search for investors to my program “White Eyes”.
I wrote the script four months of the innovation program “White Eyes”. Now the buyer is able to create a game in two meta-genres:
1) Run Games (Action, Quest, etc.)
2) Strategy Games (RTS, Global strategy, etc.)
Forget about the past of such programs. “White Eyes” turn the computer industry. One person will be able to create a game for half an hour! This is a revolution! This is innovation!
The main idea of the program.
- A user can for half an hour to create a computer game. – The destruction of the foundations of modern industry.
- Destruction of the current relationships: Developer →Publisher → Distributor → Shop →Buyer.
- Creating new relationship: Scenarist → Internet →User.
– The release of creative potential gamers.
Do not add the title of the presentation: What happens in a minute!
White Eyes – this is the beginning. Now I am writing another scenario similar to the program. I will not disclose their Aces to shoot me or losers. We are on the verge of extinction is too heavy and still. The main value will be the scripts, rather than the directors and programmers. Script can itself create movies on your scenario and without the greedy and cunning directors and producers as well game designer will be able to create their own game without the team of programmers, and greedy directors. And distributed movies and games will be on the Internet (free of charge or for a fee). Everything must be simply and relaxed. Everything must be broken up to release. Internet has evolved into a single online game where the user will be able to create your avatar. Sites become virtual buildings, temples and cities. Children and students will be trained in virtual schools. Each user will have their avatars. I wrote the script for the film and realized that it is better to understand the meaning of the script, I just. And I realized that I must do something. I realized that the future for writers, artists, and for some programmers. Just imagine a world where there will be companies producing games and movies. The future will belong to the company created the program. Soon not even be a place for programmers, because they take place robots. Robots will be programmed other robots. Soon there is no place to writers, because the books will write robots. Now we are on the verge of post human when all of the most daring dreams fulfilled.
