If you ask anyone what is more efficient – cooperation or competition, everyone would definitely choose cooperation. However, a decision on cooperation is just a beginning of the joint business actions. The next step is coordination of efforts in order to reach the joint goals. Only afterwards the real cooperation starts. How can all this be organized in business or international relations? This exactly is where the Game Theory comes into action.” At the present level of economic development skills in the Game Theory usage becomes a part and parcel of an efficient CEO.   

 

The general assembly of the Conference resolved to hold the 10^th International Scientific Conference “Game Theory and Management” in GSOM SPbU on June 28 – 30, 2016.
