Gamesmanship

"One who plays a sport fairly and loses gracefully" is how The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines sportsmanship. What is a sportsman? The definition seems to have undergone a big change over the years. If children follow the example set by today's athletes, the definition would equal a sore loser. High school sports should be a fun way to physically express yourself as an athlete, but at the same time learn some of life's lessons, like sportsmanship, discipline, and respect. In today's

modest welfare state, but it would be one that focused on integrating people into the market so they could compete for jobs. He would be skeptical of open-ended relief for the able-bodied. The result will be less innovation and more political gamesmanship. Hayek would note that a large powerful government is the greatest threat to equality. Those with access to power, for example special interests, political favorites,

Introduction This paper details a project that transitioned the responsibility from an outsourced IT service delivery model to an insourced delivery model within a Military Department (MilDep). The purpose is to understand why the goals of the insource service are not being met and more tactically, why IT governance is not working. The paper will first provide description of the context of the case, the organizations, and the players (See Appendix A for list of all major players). The next

forecasts out of fear of being viewed as naysayers and poor team players, while at the same time, deflate expense numbers out of fear of being viewed as not having control over costs. Fear in the workplace creates estimating and forecasting gamesmanship. Prior Performance May Be a Poor Predictor: Much like the recency effect displayed by the Everest expedition leaders, we open additional trap doors for our estimating and forecasting approaches by relying too much on prior performance in

If you had a good idea that would benefit thousands of people, would you want someone to oppose it just because they weren’t the ones to come up with the idea? What is a term limit you might ask? A term limit is a rule that prevents government officials from serving for more than a certain number of years. These limits reflect the manner in which the common people envision their higher ups.

Strategic Interaction, written by renown Canadian-American sociologist Erving Goffman examines the concepts of face to face interaction by using game like events to studying the broader thought of human communication. Goffman observes face to face interactions between humans, and links the interactions to circumstances regarding espionage and foreign politics.

Even if it is not a motion to help your case or to defend an individuals constitutional rights, these motions can be made to make the other sides process more difficult. Gamesmanship is not entirely absent during this phase of the trial process. A phrase I learned when I was in the army was “do what you can get away with.” I am sure that is not a foreign concept when used with reason within the court

That means making our voices heard, including writing and calling out members of congress and letting them know how the dollars that they allocate through the appropriations process affect their constituents on the ground and the that political gamesmanship in setting funding allocations affect real

I'm no expert on Hayek, but free-market economists would probably argue that we ought to make sure, first and foremost, to distinguish carefully between poverty and inequality. They aren't the same thing. Are we concerned, first and foremost, with the absolute condition of human beings, or with their position relative to others? The growth of relatively free markets and international trade has almost certainly contributed to dramatic increases in living standards across the globe, while also
