For the R & D game that Kimberly-Clark(Kleenex) and Procter & Gamble (Puffs) Play. Each firm has two strategies: Do R&D or do not R&D. If neither firm does R&D, Kimberly-Clark makes $30 million and Procter & Gamble makes $70 million. If both does R&D, Kimberly-Clark makes $5 million and Procter & Gamble makes $45 million. if only Procter & Gamble does R&D, it makes $85 million and Kimberly-Clark makes -$10 million, and if only Kimberly-Clark does R&D it makes $85 million and Procter & Gamble makes -$10 million.
7) Create the payoff matrix for this game?
In Brandenburger and Nalebuff's article "Use game theory to shape strategy," coopetition is a game where ______Group of answer choices firms in an industry compete with each other indirectly, rather than directly. firms in an industry pursue win - win and win - lose strategies simultaneously. firms in an industry compete directly with firms in other industries. firms in an industry pursue pure win - win strategies.
What is the prisoners dilemma, and what does it have to do with oligopoly?

Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe French economist Antoine Cournot developed an interesting model of competition in an oligopoly that now bears his name. In a Cournot oligopoly, all of the firms know that the total output from all firms will determine the price (based on the downward-sloping market demand curve), but they make independent and simultaneous decisions about how much output to produce. Cournot developed this model after observing how a spring water duopoly (two firms) behaved. So let’s look at a duopoly example.For each firm to decide how much to produce, it must make a guess about how much the other firm is going to produce. Also, the firms basically assume that once the other firm has decided how much to produce, it can’t really change its decision.Here’s an example. Suppose the market demand curve for gallons of fresh spring water looks like the one below and, to keep things simple, the marginal cost of spring water is zero. If Firm X believes that Firm Y is going to produce 100 gallons of spring…arrow_forwardWhat is an example of an oligopoly industry? What makes this industry an oligopoly?
