A choice based on the recognition that the actions of others will affect the outcome of the choice and that takes these possible actions into account is called a strategic choice. Game theory is an analytical approach through which strategic choices can be assessed.” (S.f. Oligopoly: Competition among the few)
The game theory represents a way to organize the possible decisions of a firm, considering the competitors possible decisions to, not only about the specific x theme, but also their responses to my decision; and what final decision may produce to me more profits, or payoff. These game or these possibilities analysis must be do frequently, because the competitors and the market itself keeps moving and changing. The most frequently used is the Prisoner´s dilemma model, about it we are going to present an example. Knowing the hard competition environment in oligopoly, the firms react and begin to create strategies that benefit all the members, with profits for all and without harming the competitors. This strategy is called
