The Impact

The worldwide lockdown caused by COVID-19 has led to the complete suspension of shipping, land transportation, and aviation. As a result of the redistribution of global resources, governments have recently advocated acquisitions and mergers with strategic alliances and vertical integrations to revitalize the economy. This study aims to investigate how the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were negotiated and how the equilibrium price was achieved with game theory and information economics in agricultural and fishery biotechnology industry. The findings in the present study propose that by adopting investment valuation (asset-based approach, revenue method, market method) and presenting three patents (globally unique nondrug-denatured pure male tilapia and GPS [Formula: see text]C cloud cold chain logistics), the more the vulnerable company is able to attain a triumphant price during the negotiation of M&A.

Basic Concepts

Game theory is a mathematical modeling tool that considers the interaction among participants in economic activity. This article introduces some of the basic concepts of game theory, and demonstrates its applicability to hospitality industry research. The paper discusses essential elements of a game such as players, actions, strategies, payoffs and equilibria. The author explains how the information structure of a game determines its outcome, and examines the solution concepts of Nash Equilibrium in a simultaneous game. The Leader-Follower game and the concept of mixed strategies are also introduced. The study identifies topics currently discussed in the hospitality literature that are likely to benefit from this methodology. The discussion covers themes such as product differentiation and room rate policies, reputation and service quality, mergers and acquisitions and franchising.
