Game Theoretical Analysis on System Adoption and Acceptance: A Review

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 10067))

Abstract

Game theory is a methodology using mathematics models to analyze the strategic interactions between participants. It has been widely used to analyze the acceptance of system models under various conditions. In this paper, we review the basic knowledge of game theory. After extensive literature study, we propose a series of model requirements that should be paid attention in game theoretical analysis. Furthermore, we classify the existing work into two categories: games in information systems and games in network systems, which have been analyzed in accordance with the aforementioned requirements. The review shows that game theory is a good tool to analyze the adoption and acceptance of a system model and can be used for improving system design towards practical deployment. Moreover, we present the advantages and limitations of existing studies, and propose future research directions.
