It is very efficient when all players who aim for the overall optimization gather together, but when players who do not aim for the overall optimization come, players who aim for the overall optimization are exploited unilaterally.

- I’ll give you a more concrete example.
- Consider the case where Mr. X and Mr. Y met by chance at a cross-industry meeting with a large number of people, or through a mutual friend Z.

- In the latter case, if Mr. Y gets angry, that information will be conveyed to Mr. Z.
- Mr. Z complains to Mr. X, “I think you should do something like that a little bit.
- If Mr. Z determines that Ms. X is behaving dishonestly, Mr. Z will not refer Ms. X to others in the future.

- These actions serve as a deterrent to Mr. X’s treacherous behavior.

- The introduction of the “lab professor” as an observer here will lead to reciprocal behavior on the part of the company, saying that if the relationship with the professor deteriorates, they will not be able to recommend the best talent.
