Theory and Strategy
Context
We consider a sequential-move game in which an entrant is considering entering an industry in competition with an incumbent firm (see Figure 15-1). There are several possibilities of how this sequential game will be played. We want to use the Froeb rule of “look ahead and reason back.”
Instructions
Use Figure 15-1 from the textbook as your starting point to address the following:
Can, and how does, the entrant succeed? Is the incumbent ever in control of this game?
