  1. Recommendsblumkvist2014in “Game Theory”

    I don't know about best, but there are a couple of MOOCs on coursera titled "Competitive strategy" and "Advanced competitive strategy" by Tobias Kretschmer of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. They deal with with game theory from a business point of view and are pretty good starting point.

  2. Recommendsblumkvist2014in “Marketing your startup: What's on your checklist?”

    The very first thing that should be on everyone's marketing checklist is understanding what marketing is and what it is not. A lot of people use marketing and promotion interchangeably. Promotion is just a part of your marketing strategy.

    Marketing is the science of bring a product to market. A good marketing plan includes (among other things) initial market research, analysis of the marketplace (the dynamic relationship between companies, products, segments, distribution channels and consumers), finding a product-market fit (defining product design and specifications based on the market analysis and your short,mid and long-term goals), pricing strategy, and finally - promotion strategy.

    There are some great (and free) MOOCs on marketing strategy on coursera. I recommend "Competitive strategy" and "Advanaced competitive strategy" by Tobias Kretschmer, if you are not looking to change the world with this great new app you and your friend are hacking together. Checking out "Introduction to marketing" is good if you want a checklist for consumer-driven philosophy. A rule of thumb when taking MOOCs is to use the videos simply as general pointers. If you want to really learn - use the recommended literature.
