- 8What does PARTS stand for? What is its relevance to marketing?According to game theory, there are five: players, added values, rules, tactics, and scope—PARTS for short. These five elements fully describe all interactions, both freewheeling and rule-based. To change the game, you have to change one or more of these elements.
The PARTS framework helps marketers/businesses to identify all the elements of the game. - 9Elaborate on PARTSPlayers come first. . None of the players are fixed. Sometimes it’s smart to change who is playing the game. That includes yourself.
Added values are what each player brings to the game. There are ways to make yourself a more valuable player and ways to lower the added values of other players.
Rules give structure to the game. In business, there is no universal set of rules; a rule might arise from law, custom, practicality, or contracts.
Tactics are moves used to shape the way players perceive the game and hence how they play. Sometimes, tactics are designed to reduce misperceptions; at other times, they are designed to create or maintain uncertainty.
Scope describes the boundaries of the game. It’s possible for players to expand or shrink those boundaries. - 104 key takeaways re competitor analysis?
