Abstract Game theory serves as an analytical framework for understanding strategic interactions among rational decision-makers in business. This paper explores the application of game theory in business strategy, focusing on how companies use game-theoretic models to enhance decision-making and gain a competitive advantage in complex markets. The paper includes case studies of companies across different industries, such as Infosys, competition between the firms like Apple and Samsung in the global smartphone market, Amazon and Flipkart in the e-commerce sector, and Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the soft drinks industry. Each case study demonstrates the relevant use of game theory in real-world business scenarios,and shows how firms use game theory models, such as Nash equilibrium, mixed strategies, and repeated games, to navigate competitive pressures, optimize pricing, and anticipate rival actions. The paper concludes that game theory is an essential tool for strategic planning, allowing firms to anticipate competitor moves and react effectively.
