It was also developed a lot in the 1950’s with several studies by John Nash. After our seminary about negotiation we thought it would be very interesting to make some research about the Game Theory.

That is why we were a bit surprised to see that this theory could be also used in a negotiation process to analyze it. It seems to be obvious that using the concepts of that theory could change the course of a negotiation and be understood as a
