3. Methodology
This paper has studied the application and the applicability of the Game theory approach in solving construction management problems. Two game theory structures have been discussed here, first of all, prisoners’ dilemma. The prisoner’s Dilemma game was first proposed by Merill Flood (1951). In this game two suspects are captured by the police. The police suspect that they are in charge of a crime, but do not have adequate evidence to prove it in court. For shriving from criminals, police put them in separate cells without any communication to each other. And, so on… The second game is: chicken game, and that is, imagine two young drivers are driving two fast cars toward each other in a narrow road. The probability of death for both young drivers is high, if none of them turn his direction. The priorities of these two drivers in this game are that they will not play the timid role. So the best payoff is to have your opponent be the chicken. Two problems have been discussed based on this two games and the results emphasis the applicability of the game theory application in construction management field.
