Overview of Competitive Strategy: Options and Games Book

Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals? behavior or they can take a wait and see?? approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow. In this book the authors describe an emerging paradigm that can quantify and balance commitment and flexibility, option games,?? by which the decision-making approaches of real options and game theory can be combined. The authors first discuss prerequisite concepts and tools from basic game theory, industrial organization and real options analysis and then present the new approach in discrete time and later in continuous time. Their presentation of continuous-time option games is the first systematic coverage of the topic and fills a significant gap in the existing literature. Competitive Strategy provides a rigorous yet pragmatic and intuitive approach to strategy formulation. It synthesizes research in the areas of strategy, economics and finance in a way that is accessible to readers not necessarily expert in the various fields involved. Competitive Strategy provides a masterful treatment of the use of options and game theory in the analysis of fundamental strategy problems such as capacity expansion, pre-emption, first vs. late mover positioning, etc. Flexibility and commitment are essential characteristics of any competitive strategy and Trigeorgis and Chevalier-Roignant give us a most insightful and practical set of models and tools. This is a must read book for any strategy scholar and decision maker.??

Merton, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences This book unifies two major strands of economic theoryreal options and gamesinto a single, coherent framework and then shows how these ideas can be applied to the formulation of corporate strategy in a rigorous fashion.
