In a world of complex decisions, competition, and cooperation, game theory offers a powerful framework for understanding strategic behavior. Join the hybrid masterclass delivered by Prof. Vikas Kakkar as we explore how game theory can illuminate real-world dynamics in business strategy, high-stakes negotiations, international trade wars, military conflict, and financial crises. 

We will examine how incentives shape actions, how strategic commitments can alter outcomes in games with multiple equilibria, and why understanding your opponent’s perspective is often the key to success. From preventing entry by competitors to brinkmanship in diplomatic standoffs, from bank runs to policy coordination, this session will unpack how game theory helps us make sense of the strategic chessboard that defines leadership and decision-making today.

Designed for MBA students and professionals, this session blends theory with real-world case studies, offering insights that are as intellectually rigorous as they are practically applicable. Whether you're negotiating a deal, managing a crisis, or crafting a competitive strategy, this masterclass will give you tools to think more strategically—and act more decisively.

Following the masterclass, Prof. Chak Fu Lam, MBA Programme Director, will provide a comprehensive overview of the MBA Programme. This Masterclass will take place in hybrid mode (in person at CityUHK campus and on zoom), and refreshment will be provided.
