Risk: The Decision Matrix : Strategies That Win

By Alan Axelrod

All games, RISK included, are matrices in which one decision affects another. Successful players visualize how each separate choice contributes to the entire strategy and fashion a winning game plan; they make smart tradeoffs and gambits, allocate scarce resources wisely, and even sacrifice outright in order to win. Alan Axelrod--one of the world's great experts on decision-making--evaluates the decisions made by leaders in the realms of diplomacy, agriculture, economics, politics, war, business, and technology. Some choices produced positive results, others negative, and a few had mixed--even entirely unexpected--outcomes. Both the good and the bad are equally valuable instructional tools for those who want to master decision making in complex, high-stakes environments: the very world in which we all live, move, and decide. ? ?
