After having gotten my ass kicked (figuratively) a few times in real life business situations where I was too smug for my own good and thought I could get an advantage using my (limited) knowledge of game theory, and watching discussions of shows like Survivor and how people play 'strategically', I've wondered - are there any resources on real life applications of game theory? Things like war gaming (the real military kind, not c&c) sort of go there sometimes but I'm not a general so military applications are of limited use to me. Anyone know of business oriented literature for those of us to whom street smarts doesn't come natural?
