Abstract

This paper delves into tournament theory from a marketing perspective, particularly its application in sales contests and other marketing phenomena. The aim is to unravel how tournament theory elucidates wage inequality and drives individuals based on relative performance. Key insights include the pivotal role of prize structures in sales contests and the advantages of multiple-winner formats, which bolster performance. The paper also underscores the limitations and assumptions of tournament theory that necessitate attention and advocates for its integration with other theories to enhance its practical applicability.
