Consider the R&D game being played by Huawei and Samsung. Huawei can choose to develop a new camera for its phone (C) or not (N). Samsung observes the choice of Huawei, then can make its own choice of C or N. The payoffs are as follows. If Huawei opted for C and Samsung likewise chose C, the payoffs are (100, 80) for Huawei and Samsung, respectively. If the choices are C by Huawei and N for Samsung, the payoffs are (120, 60). If Huawei opts for N and Samsung C, the payoffs that ensue are (80 120). If Huawei chooses N and Samsung N the payoffs are (140, 100). Which of the following statements are true? N by Samsung following N by Huawei is a credible strategy for Samsung C by Samsung following C by Huawei is a credible strategy for Samsung N by Samsung following C by Huawei is a credible strategy for Samsung C is a dominant strategy for Samsung N is a dominant strategy for Samsung
