On the night before a client presentation, a VP receives an email from her marketing director who claims to be stuck on a major component. The VP is willing to assist the director if he has made every effort to resolve the issue, but prefers not to help if the director was simply slacking and looking to share the blame if the presentation is not successful. The marketing director would prefer to receive assistance regardless of his effort. But if help is not forthcoming, the director prefers to work hard than to slack to maximize the probability of success. Assume the following payoffs in this two$-$player game.
