The Blue Game

> Investment is a game of strategy. But this book is more than a game. It is a playbook - about the grand strategies for winning the game. ,The Blue Game' is used in company trainings and university courses. It helps develop superior strategic skills in responsible investment management.

> A real world investment case simulates the Australian office market. Property investors and fund managers find themselves in a challenging situation. Their conventional business strives for financial performance. However, ignored side effects from economic fundamentals, environmental regulation, social conventions, and governance standards backfire on the investment return.

> To solve this dilemma ,The Blue Game' applies the economic and behavioural concepts of game theory. Strategic moves turn negative externalities into a positive business case. Investors and managers make game changing choices on their partners, values, agreements, tactics and the investment scope.

> ,The Blue Game' works on the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment PRI. The first game set developed at Henley Business School, University of Reading. The proposed investment and management solutions incorporate the dynamic interplay of competition and cooperation - delivering a better economic, environmental, social, and governance outcome.
