Marc S. Robinson, PhD., is an economist, consultant and co-writer of the C-Suite Newsletter on Substack.

Having taught at UCLA and Stanford, as well as spent over three decades with General Motors, in his consulting practice, Marc deploys game theory to predict likely outcomes and to develop strategy for his clients.

In this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Marc explains how game theory (or ‘war gaming’) explains how the 2023 United Auto Workers’ (UAW) strike against the Detroit Three automakers—Ford, General Motors and Stellantis—was a ‘highly predictable’ outcome based on the variables from the last decade.
