Strategic Thinking Class

Strategic Thinking
Using
Game Theory



Great leaders understand and use strategic thinking. Most learn it on the job. Some study it and then apply it. The basis of most strategic thinking among successful leaders is an application of game theory.

This Winter Session (J-Term) you have the opportunity to learn how to see the whole at a glance. Several games will be used as the springboard for you to begin the art of thinking strategically.

The course will be taught by Charles Swayne, recognized for his application of game theory. He is a frequent speaker at the World Series of Poker Academy Camps, teaches poker online with Daniel Negreanu, is the creator of the N-SPAT (The Negreanu-Swayne Poker Aptitude Test), is an honorary member of the Global Strategic Poker Thinking Society, and his new book, Swayne’s Advanced Degree in Hold’em, is the most comprehensive book on the market for the serious poker player. He is currently working on a new book, Heads Up Poker, with champion Paul Wasicka. Swayne has combined his education and lessons of mathematics, statistics, total quality management, industrial engineering, operations research, entrepreneurship, finance, economics, investments, marketing, leadership, strategy and ethics, to help you to become a more global thinker.
