Description

Game-Changer: Game Theory and the Art of Transforming Strategic Situations"The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." So wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be turned into victory whether in battle, business, or life by those with the strategic vision to recognize how to "change the game" to their own advantage. The aim of David McAdams's Game Changer

"The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." So wrote Zhuge Liang, the great Chinese military strategist. He was referring to battlefield tactics, but the same can be said about any strategic situation. Even seemingly certain defeat can be turned into victory--whether in battle, business, or life--by those with the strategic vision to recognize how to "change the game" to their own advantage.

The aim of David McAdams's Game-Changer is nothing less than to empower you with this wisdom--not just to win in every strategic situation (or "game") you face but to change those games and the ecosystems in which they reside to transform your life and our lives together for the better.

Game-Changer develops six basic ways to change games--commitment, regulation, cartelization, retaliation, trust, and relationships--enlivened by countless colorful characters and unforgettable examples from the worlds of business, medicine, finance, military history, crime, sports, and more.

The book then digs into several real-world strategic challenges, such as how to keep prices low on the Internet, how to restore the public's lost trust in for-charity telemarketers, and even how to save mankind from looming and seemingly unstoppable drug-resistant disease. In each case, McAdams uses the game-theory approach developed in the book to identify the strategic crux of the problem and then leverages that "game-awareness" to brainstorm ways to change the game to solve or at least mitigate the underlying problem.

So get ready for a fascinating journey. You'll emerge a deeper strategic thinker, poised to change and win all the games you play. In doing so, you can also make the world a better place. "Just one Game-Changer is] enough to seed and transform an entire organization into a more productive, happier, and altogether better place," McAdams writes. Just imagine what we can do together.

Perfect for a Big Family – Kids Loved It!
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
We got this Frito-Lay Fun Times Mix Variety Pack for our 7 kids, and they absolutely loved it! The box is huge and has a great variety of chips, so there’s something for everyone. Perfect for snacks, lunchboxes, or family gatherings. The quality is just what you expect from Frito-Lay, and with 7 kids, it lasted a good while (not very long, honestly πŸ˜„). We would definitely buy this againβ€”a fun and convenient way to keep all the kids happy!

Great for the office
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
These were a great option for the office break room! At the time I got them, they were a great value and the selection is high quality name brand snacks with good taste. It’s nice to have all the different options in one box instead of having to buy multiple products.

Sometimes stale but you get a nice amount.
Flavor Name: Fun Times Mix, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I would love to give this a five-star rating, but I've ordered these a couple of times and have gotten one that have been stale. I stopped or ordering them but now I'm going to give them another try because I loved the quantity. I will give you guys a update when I receive the package.
