ABSTRACT

Reliable information, as we have argued, determines viability within the organization and can establish creditability outside the organization, while unreliable information can destroy an organization, as was the case with Enron. In this chapter we will discuss the notion of game theory and how it applies under a variety of conditions that exist among organizational players. The purpose of this discussion is to help make the reader aware of common conditions that may serve to impede optimal information flow before such conditions can impact the organization.
