9. Assignment 3 Presentations

10. Game Theory Activity Split into 4 groups, each representing an engineering company Negotiation Scenario: AUD$1 billion Request for Tender – to build 6 new bridges over a large river in Upper Volta Rumour that Government of Upper Volta wants to award the work to 6 different companies each doing one bridge (therefore two bridges will be done by overseas companies) or all of it will go to a consortium (minimum of two companies) Have each group negotiate with each other (keeping the results of agreements secret)  decide your strategic goals and how you would apply game theory to win the RFT. Post Game Reflections:What did each agree to in the end? What games were played and their impact?

11. Scenario Planning Split into 4 groups, each a company wanting to enter a selected country - pick you country Your company wants to build a nuclear power plant in your chosen country, to bolster its current energy system under pressure from a rapid increase in demand from industry. Select 2 issues you think are importance Break up the issues into 4 high/low trend scenario options For each scenario, anticipate what would happen and the impact on your choice of entry . For example: consider a government policy issue – where the main opposition party wants “green power” and the current ruling party accepts all offers, and there is an election in year 1.

Therefore there are 4 scenarios for this govt policy issue:
