Abstract

With the increasing scale and complexity of construction projects, managers face challenges in decision-making, and non-cooperative game theory becomes an effective management tool. This paper studies its application in construction engineering management. A literature review and case study approach explores its applications in competitive bidding, supply chain management, regulatory platforms, and builders' games and its advantages and disadvantages. It is found that the game theory model performs well in optimizing decisions and improving management efficiency to maximize benefits. However, there are some limitations to the application of these models that require particular attention to adaptation. The paper explains that the application of non-cooperative game theory has been demonstrated in certain areas, and therefore, introducing non-cooperative game theory into the engineering management process would provide broader and deeper insights to help us make more informed decisions and improve management efficiency. To further enhance the efficiency and quality of engineering management, we need to explore in depth the more expansive application areas of non-cooperative game theory in engineering management.
