In the next section the book presents two types of theories: game theory and behavioral theory. Game theory was created over 2,500 years ago by the Chinese military (Ho & Weigelt, 1997). It has only entered the business environment recently but still uses the same concepts and is a tool for doing strategic analysis. Game theory is essentially a way to make decisions. How will it affect your company? How will it affect your competitor? It takes into account cause and effect, considering all possibilities and what resources will be needed. The second theory offered is behavioral theory. This theory investigates why it is that managers often make irrational decisions that may negatively affect the future of the organization.

After the launch of the company, the future seemed very promising. However, after the Internet bubble burst, business went down because people could no longer afford their services. The group then came up with the idea of a promising product— an interactive music-based game. The creative force of the group, Roman and Igor, had no problem as their department depended on their musical talents. Sasha, however, who ran business operations such as production, sales and marketing, was overwhelmed by being the sole businessperson in the company.
