The Prisoner’s Dilemma

The Prisoner’s Dilemma

SIG’s Education department presented The Prisoner’s Dilemma, a classic example of game theory analysis that shows why two individuals might not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interest to do so. A well-known game of strategy in social science, the Prisoner’s Dilemma provides a model of the balance between cooperation and competition in business, in politics, and in social settings.
