The Art of Winning Business Without Competing | Game Theory Explained

Описание: Han was trapped in a brutal price war, bleeding money just to destroy his competitor. The "Trap" is believing that the only way to win business is to be the cheapest option. Shen teaches Han the strategic truth about Game Theory: You don't win by fighting the enemy in a race to the bottom; you win by leaving the battlefield entirely.

In this episode, we explore the "Prisoner's Dilemma" applied to modern business strategy. We often think competition means crushing the rival, but the reality is that price wars are "negative-sum games" where everyone loses. Based on Economic Theory and Differentiation Strategy, this story reveals why adding value (The Egg) is infinitely more powerful than cutting costs.

The Lesson: "In business, you don't win by killing the enemy. You win by leaving the battlefield."
