From your own understanding on the concept of “Game Theory”, what can you conclude about the relationship between rules of the game and the outcome that results?
Three managers of the Magic Potion Company are discussing a possible increase in production. Each suggests a way to make this decision.
HARRY: We should examine whether our company’s productivity—gallons of potion per worker—would rise or fall.
RON: We should examine whether our average cost—cost per worker—would rise or fall.
HERMIONE: We should examine whether the extra revenue from selling the additional potion would be greater or smaller than the extra costs. Who do you think is right? Why?

We see the toy store owner leaning next to the front door waiting for customers to enter but customers are non-existent. Next, the movie cuts to the president of the company, played by Tim Robbins, and we see him sitting behind a big desk waiting to hear how the launch of the hula hoop is going. It does not go well. The price starts to drop, first to $1.59, then $1.49 and so on down until the hula hoop is "free with any purchase." Even this is not enough to attract consumers. So the toy store owner throws the hula hoops out into the alley behind the store. At his point, it is a fluke that changes the direction of the entire movie.

He picks up the hula hoop and tries it out. He is a natural.
