Game theory is the theory of social situations, and the majority of research into the topic focuses on how groups of people interact by developing formulas and algorithms to identify optimal strategies and to predict the outcome of interactions. Only fifty years old, it has already revolutionized economics and finance, and is spreading rapidly to a wide variety of fields. LQ Dynamic Optimization and Differential Games is an assessment of the state of the art in its field and the first modern book on linear-quadratic game theory, one of the most commonly used tools for modelling and analysing strategic decision making problems in economics and management. Linear quadratic dynamic models have a long tradition in economics, operations research and control engineering; and the author begins by describing the one-decision maker LQ dynamic optimization problem before introducing LQ differential games. Covers cooperative and non-cooperative scenarios, and treats the standard information structures (open-loop and feedback). Includes real-life economic examples to illustrate theoretical concepts and results. Presents problem formulations and sound mathematical problem analysis. Includes exercises and solutions, enabling use for self-study or as a course text. Supported by a website featuring solutions to exercises, further examples and computer code for numerical examples. LQ Dynamic Optimization and Differential Games offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of this extensively used class of economic models, and will appeal to applied mathematicians and econometricians as well as researchers and senior undergraduate/graduate students in economics, mathematics, engineering and management science.

Strategy literature is abundant, but there is no book that shows you how to actually think strategically. The Forgotten Vocabulary of Strategy (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) fills this gap. For the first time it reveals the ways of thinking, acting and teaching of successful Western and Asian strategists as well as Arab and Indian mirrors for princes and looks 2500 years into the past. In its essence, the book demystifies the 12 most renowned strategic approaches, distills them into a holistic system and thus enables the reader to develop a universally strategic mind through a scientifically founded process. STRATEGISTS THINK IN PATTERNS These patterns, also called Strategic Principles, are based on the rules of the social world. They are learnable and limited in number. Decision-makers, project managers as well as specialists and leaders of all levels and areas need this universal, practical knowledge, as they are involved in social interaction every day. These two textbooks are therefore aimed at all strategy teachers who are looking for a timeless, interdisciplinary and cross-cultural strategy perspective. Practising autodidacts will also benefit, since the complete vocabulary of strategy, consisting of 153 literarily described principles, is presented in a systematised format. The principle-oriented strategy teaching - PriOri - enables the strategist to master not only the rational but also the irrational level of the mind. PriOri provides a fundamental insight into the functioning of the human mind and reveals which evolutionary mechanisms help strategic action in social interaction to succeed. By successively learning the principles, the reader develops social strategic competence - the foundation of common sense. It enables the reader to reduce complexity, simultaneously analyse interaction, avoid wrong decisions and ultimately master his daily work more calmly and efficiently.

Great leaders are purposeful action-takers; this means they don’t get bogged down in the sometimes overwhelming amount of work on their desks – they purposefully work towards the achievement of their defined goal, whatever it may be. Great managers don’t try to do more things – they focus on doing the right things, and in getting them done. Becoming a purposeful action-taker is a process, with both organizational and personal parts. The personal part is to become a purposeful action-taker yourself; the organizational part is fostering purposeful action-taking in your corporation, so the manager can actually be a purposeful action-taker, and lead his or her employees to be the same.
