Talk:Game theory in project management

Revision as of 21:21, 22 September 2015

Josef:

Hello, I really like your idea to look at Game Theory applications in project management. I suggest to make sure you focus on specific examples, so that you do not get "stuck" in a general discussion. It is OK to start with a more general overview, but make sure you bring it down to an "application level" that is relevant for a project manager, and not leave it at a "philosophical" discussion.

s112910:

The author has picked a subject which is very relevant for project, program and portfolio management.

The author gives a good introduction that immediately got my attention and interest. The subject is properly introduced and it is clearly stated what the purpose of the article is in relation to the subject.

The language of the article is fluent and with no mistakes in the grammar. The content of the article is clear and the author manages to keep a read thread throughout the article even though the suggested structure for "method" articles for this task is not completely followed. The author also has a way of writing that keeps the reader interested. The article consists of relevant figures that are clearly explained and make the article more interesting. However references to the figures are missing. A youtube video is also used in the article to demonstrate an example of game theory from the Olympic games to emphasize a point being made by the author which also makes the article more lively.

At the end of the article the author makes a very good conclusion summing up the most important aspects of the subject.

References are clearly stated at the bottom of the article. Good idea to split them into types of references. It would also be a good idea to put the references in the text as well so the reader is able to clearly read from the text what the source is. At the bottom of the main page for this course you can find information on how to do this.

Ana – Reviewer 1 I find the topic very interesting and structured, I like the motivation given in the abstract even though it seems complex. The author gives a good introduction to the theme and I find it relevant for students in this course. The article explains a method and gives few examples with good and developed explanations. To address cases helps the reader to follow the topic. The grammar and the writing style make easy to follow the article and the sentences are well formulated. I may would need a more clear explanation for the figures as it was a bit hard for me to relate it with the example. I think the elements of the article are well formatted (figures and video). The video gives a dynamic view of the topic that aids to catch the reader’s attention. According to the size of the article I found it a bit long in the beginning but it can be explained because of the examples that I found necessaries to explain the topic. I liked that there are links to the resources the author has use to elaborate this article, I found it interesting. But it is not explained the content of each link. The conclusion is well summarized, it addresses the important points.
