It starts by discussing the ontogeny of games as they evolved with philosophy, theology, mathematics and computers, and goes on to evaluate games as a form of inquiry that can help accomplish individual and organizational aims. Special focus is placed on the role of games in addressing complex adaptive behaviors and measuring advances in artificial intelligence. The work includes primers on game theory for gamers, decision theorists, complexity scientists, and AI practitioners, and guidance to help them create game-oriented practice fields for decision-making and critical analysis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: #494949; letter-spacing: -.25pt;\"\u003eJohn Hanley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; color: #494949; letter-spacing: -.25pt;\"\u003e is a Non-Resident Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, where he conducts research on naval and national security strategy, operations management, complex systems, artificial intelligence, and operational gaming.
