Game-Theoretic Situation

Is a situation where player's in a game do have to take into account the reactions of rival firms when setting their own strategic variable i.e. high level of interdependency between firms. Therefore firms need to reason strategically and form expectations about others' decisions when deciding their own course of action. These situations can be predicted and solved using game theory.
