Coalition governance in South Africa is adjudged as an opportunity for nation-building and social compact, which intends to jettison the apartheid legacy of racial separation. quintessentially demonstrates a maturing project whereby political parties embrace cohesive spirit democratic citizenship representation. However, lack consensus about developmental posture drive put different on antithet...

Self-presentation is an omnipresent form of behaviour that involves building a self-image in front other people. This aims at structuring the impression person. explains numerous social relations and situations, but it also depends on factors, primarily personality as well number situational factors.

A coalitional (or cooperative) game is a model of interacting decision-makers that focuses on the behavior of groups of players. N denotes the set of players. A coalition is a group of players S ⊂ N . We refer to N as the grand coalition. Every coalition S has a set of available actions AS. An outcome consists of a partition of N (coalition structure) and one action associated with each coaliti...

A value for games with a coalition structure is introduced, where the rules guiding cooperation among the members of the same coalition are different from the interaction rules among coalitions. In particular, players inside a coalition exhibit a greater degree of solidarity than they are willing to use with players outside their coalition. The Shapley value is therefore used to compute the agg...

The existence of a coalition strategy to achieve a goal does not necessarily mean that the coalition has enough information to know how to follow the strategy. Neither does it mean that the coalition knows that such a strategy exists. The paper studies an interplay between the distributed knowledge, coalition strategies, and coalition “know-how” strategies. The main technical result is a sound ...

This study investigated impression management tactic use during structured interviews containing both experience-based and situational questions. Specifically, the authors examined whether applicants' use of impression management tactics depended on question type. Results from 119 structured interviews indicated that almost all of the applicants used some form of impression management. Signific...

We study the myopic stability of hedonic coalition formation. Myopic stability means that for each unstable coalition structure there exists a sequence of myopic blockings that leads to a stable coalition structure. The main result is a characterization of the hedonic coalition formation models which are myopically stable whenever a stable coalition structure exists. One interesting implication...
