Abstract

This chapter uses game theory to evaluate different strategic cross-plant precaution collaboration situations. An application of the model is provided and explains how cross-plant precaution in chemical clusters may be enhanced and realized despite limited resources available to the Multi-plant council (MPC).

Notes

  1. 1.

    The MPC obviously needs to have an internal working budget for its base cost of existence (man hours, office, etc.), but we assume that there is no external ‘incentive budget’ available that can be used by the MPC to stimulate domino prevention collaboration between companies.

  2. 2.

    A strategic situation is defined as a simultaneous strategy selection, one for each plant. Each strategic situation results in a different pay-off or investment cost for each player.
