A General Theory of Equilibrium Selection in Games
John C. Harsanyi , and Reinhard Selton Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0262582384 |
Book Description
The authors, two of the most prominent game theorists of this generation, have devoted a number of years to the development of the theory presented here, and to its economic applications. They propose rational criteria for selecting one particular uniformly perfect equilibrium point as the solution of any noncooperative game. And, because any cooperative game can be remodelled as a noncooperative bargaining game, their theory defines a one-point solution for any cooperative game as well.

Evolutionary Games and Equilibrium Selection (Economic Learning and Social Evolution)
Larry Samuelson Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0262692198 |
Book Description
Evolutionary game theory is one of the most active and rapidly growing areas of research in economics. Unlike traditional game theory models, which assume that all players are fully rational and have complete knowledge of details of the game, evolutionary models assume that people choose their strategies through a trial-and-error learning process in which they gradually discover that some strategies work better than others. In games that are repeated many times, low-payoff strategies tend to be weeded out, and an equilibrium may emerge.Customer Reviews:

The Dot-Com Decision
Robert F. Wilson Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill Trade ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0071375872 |
Book Description
Even though there has been a shake-out in dot-com start-up world, dot-com and other new technology companies will continue to play an important part in the economy. The interest is not going to go away, and as dotcoms become smarter about business strategy, they are likely to become an ever more attractive lure. Internet and new economy companies have an unquenchable need for talent, and executives and managers up and down the corporate ladder are being tapped to leave their dress codes behind for a chance at future millions. And MBA's are faced with the same opportunities. Internet and dot-com companies are exciting - the last frontier - Business Week calls it "the adrenaline rush." And in the battle to keep their managers and executives on-board, traditional companies are becoming more and more flexible and competitive. Sabbaticals, more casual-dress days, and free cappuccino are becoming commonplace. All in the attempt to stave off the headhunters who are combing the woods, searching high and low for heads to fill key tech slots. In this buyer's market, talented employees are often faced with a tough choice. It's the Dot-Com Decision. Can you afford to make the lead into the new economy? Can you afford not to? Maybe you are well-compensated, but have perhaps plateaued in the traditional company hierarchy; will a dot-com give you your only shot at running your own show? You've got a mortgage and can't risk your steady paycheck; how do you evaluate compensation packages - and company health - to judge if the dot-com can meet your bottom line? You know exactly what your skills and strengths are in your traditional company position; how do you know what kind of Internet company would be best for your area or expertise? You've worked in a traditional company for over ten years; will you be able to survive the culture shock - or will you embrace and thrive with a change of pace? This book provides readers with the tools and strategies necessary to make sure the Dot-Com Decision they make is the right one.Customer Reviews:
Great Advice for the jobseeker.com.......2001-09-20
The tips on evaluating the company culture are also very good, and will help candidates evaluate whether prosective employers are a good match for their personalities and work skills.
The information on stock options and other compensation issues is invaluable for newcomers or for industry veterans who want to negotiate a better package on their next foray into the job market.
As someone already working in the high-tech field, I can honestly say that I wish I had this book when I was conducting my job search!

A Practical Handbook of Speech Coders (Discrete Mathematics and Applications)
Randy Goldberg , and Lance Riek Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0849385253 |
Book Description
The demand for digital speech coding algorithms grows every day, fueled by applications such as streaming speech over the Internet, Internet telephone, digital cellular telephony, wireless teleconferencing, and various multimedia applications. Until now, most of the books available on audio coding have been collections of individually authored papers. Others have discussed the fundamental coders, but neglected many of the innovations currently in use. Unlike these books, A Practical Handbook of Speech Coders offers in-depth treatment of the basics of speech coding plus the innovations to the basic methods that make the coders useful and efficient. The authors designed this work for engineers, scientists, and manager who need to understand the emerging speech coding techniques and telecommunication standards. However, it will prove useful to people at all levels of speech coder experience: · If you want to simply download the code for an existing algorithm, this book helps you evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of all publicly available codes and choose the right one, then points you to the Internet location where the code is available for download. · For experts who want to improve on existing coders, this book provides the parameters of current coders and the techniques to improve upon them. You can download an existing algorithm or code it using the algorithmic descriptions in the book, make your innovations, and then test the code with the procedures given. · If you want to become an expert and have some basic knowledge of digital signal processing, you can learn the innovative steps taken by the inventor of each coder, explore the rigorous research techniques needed to develop your own coder, and become proficient in existing vocoder technology.

Hidden Under The Corporate Ladder
Jacque LaMay Manufacturer: Authorhouse ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1414016212 |
Book Description
Hidden Under the Corporate Ladder gives a brutally honest look inside a scandalous Fortune 100 company. The story takes place in Dallas, Texas, in the mid 1990s, as told firsthand by an employee hired to work for a corporation's branch location to figure out why its operation isn't productive. Jackie expects misconduct; however, she finds more than she bargained for. When one of the perpetrators uncovers her mission and confides in her that he is in a Witness Protection Program with past Mob ties, he threatens to "do away" with her if she reports any wrongdoing-just as he did with the last person who ratted on him. The story is compelling as the reader is riveted to each chapter's no-holds-barred description of scandal, deception, sexual misconduct, misappropriation of funds, discrimination, and even death. Although the book is driven by scandal that is dark, twisted, or just plain vulgar, it is also filled with life's sometimes sad and disappointing situations as well as love and devotion. Most of all, it is filled with life itself. Destined to have a profound effect, the story is always powerful and keeps the reader turning the page as it details and describes misuse of management in unimaginable and incomprehensible ways.Customer Reviews:
