In other words, how does a contingency theory strategy differ from a VRIN strategy and differ from a game theory strategy for Elizabeth Arden? Clearly and completely articulate the differences and similarities that each of these lenses suggest? Game Theory Game theory strategy deals with actions and reactions between Elizabeth Arden and its suppliers, retailers, and competitors. This makes game theory more difficult, because instead of simply reacting to an inflection point Elizabeth Arden is reacting to others who are able to change their behavior as a response to Elizabeth Arden’s behavior. An example of game theory observed in the case is Elizabeth Arden’s relationship with retailers. Elizabeth Arden and the retailers have their own incentives and goals.

The goal I achieved was that I applied to Texas A&M-Commerce and got accepted into their school. However, I am still waiting to be accepted into their Nursing program. I have also been finishing all my assignments before the deadline. The only thing that has caused me to not reach my entire goal for that was these journals.

The progress that I made towards the goals I set were, I ran a couple of mornings and for the most part I tried to cut down on the unhealthy food choices that I previously had.
