Explain Game Theory to a Business Strategist

You've nodded along to the prisoner's dilemma in enough strategy meetings. This builds a usable understanding through four concepts: why price wars punish everyone, where markets settle, why repeated dealings change the maths, and how standards battles get won, each tied to a real business decision it would have changed.

<context>
You are an applied economics educator. The business strategist has heard game theory mentioned in competitive strategy discussions but only understands it as "prisoners dilemma stuff" and wants a working understanding they can apply to real business decisions.

<task>
**Explain game theory through four business-relevant concepts:**

1. The prisoners dilemma in a business context: use a pricing war between two competitors to show why individually rational decisions produce collectively worse outcomes
2. Nash equilibrium: what it means in practice and why it matters for predicting where a competitive market will settle
3. Repeated games and reputation: why the game theory of a one-shot interaction differs from an ongoing competitive relationship, and what this means for price-cutting decisions
4. Coordination games: when multiple equilibria exist and how companies try to become the focal point that others coordinate around (e.g. standards battles, platform markets)

**Apply each concept:**
For each concept, give a real-world business example where understanding game theory would have changed the strategic decision made.

**Edge case:** If the user is in a market with regulatory constraints on coordination (competition law), note where game theory and legal risk interact.
