The technique is based on the methods of linear algebra and the theory of games. When the problem contains many multibranched decision points, a computer may be needed to follow all possible paths and list them in order of desirability in terms of the quantitative criterion chosen. The decision maker may then concentrate on the routes at the top of the list and choose from among them by using other, possibly subjective criteria. The technique has many uses which are well covered in an extensive literature and will not be further considered here.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior m. 1944. Various scholars have contributed to the development of game theory, and in the process, it has become useful for scholars and practitioners in a variety of fields, although economics and finance are the disciplines most commonly associated with game theory.
