Strategic Dynamics and Reputation in Consortium Models: A Game Theory Analysis of the Authentic Trappist Product Case

This thesis analyzes the organizational and strategic dynamics of consortia using the analytical tools of Game Theory. The central problem of the study lies in the difficulty of ensuring that individual members all pull in the same direction, even though common objectives exist within a consortium. The main thesis argues that the non-profit organizational structure is a functional element that facilitates the strategic conditions necessary to build and sustain consortia.
