RESEARCH INTERESTS
Development of business theory using game-theoretic approaches. Research includes the further development of "value-based strategy," which studies businesses as the central players in economic value creation, and "interactive decision theory," which takes strategic uncertainty as the primary focus. Application of the research is principally to the fields of strategy, negotiation, and operations.
