Microsoft and a smaller rival often have to select from one of two competing technologies, A and B. The rival always prefers to select the same technology as Microsoft (because compatibility is important), while Microsoft always wants to select a different technology from its rival. If the two companies select different technologies, Microsoft's payoff is 4 units of utility, while the small rival suffers a loss of utility of 2. If the two companies select the same technology, Microsoft suffers a loss of utility of 2 while the rival gains 2 units of utility. Using the given information, fill in the payoffs for each cell in the matrix, assuming that each company chooses its technology simultaneously. Rival Technology A Rival: Technology B Rival: Technology A O True , Microsoft Microsoft True or False: There is no equilibrium in pure strategies.
