Deliverable 04 – Worksheet

  1. Market research has determined the following changes in market shares based on the different combinations of music choices for the two clubs: if both clubs play country, the new club (Club 1) does very well with a 24% increase in market share. If Club 1 plays country and the competing club (Club 2) plays rock, Club 2 gets a 12% increase in market share. If these choices are reversed, Club 2 does even better and gets an 18% increase in the market share. Lastly, if both clubs play rock, Club 1 does better and gets a 6% increase in market share. This results in the following payoff matrix:


Club 2

Club 1

Country

Rock

Country

(24, -24)

(-12, 12)

Rock

(-18, 18)

(6, -6)
