4.2. Chicken game
The other interesting game which can be used in construction management is chicken game. In this game, imagine two young drivers are driving by 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. The worst possible payoff is to crash to each other. So in the matrix for this game, this situation has the least value. We assign it 1. As mentioned before, the best payoff for each driver is to have his opponent be the chicken, so we assign it a value 4. The next worst possibility is to be the chicken, so we assign this a value 2. The last possibility is that both drivers swerve at the same time. We assign this a value 3. In this strategy they can maintain their pride and life, so this is preferable to being the chicken. But in these circumstances none of the players neither will be a loser nor will be a winner.
