Book Description

More than two millennia ago the famous Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote the classic work on military strategy, The Art of War. Now, in a new edition of Sun Tzu and the Art of Business, Mark McNeilly shows how Sun Tzu's strategic principles can be applied to twenty-first century business. Here are two books in one: McNeilly's synthesis of Sun Tzu's ideas into six strategic principles for the business executive, plus the text of Samuel B. Griffith's popular translation of The Art of War. McNeilly explains how to gain market share without inciting competitive retaliation, how to attack competitors' weak points, and how to maximize market information for competitive advantage. He demonstrates the value of speed and preparation in throwing the competition off-balance, employing strategy to beat the competition, and the need for character in leaders. Lastly, McNeilly presents a practical method to put Sun Tzu's principles into practice. By using modern examples throughout the book from Google, Zappos, Amazon, Dyson, Aflac, Singapore Airlines, Best Buy, the NFL, Tata Motors, Starbucks, and many others, he illustrates how, by following the wisdom of history's most respected strategist, executives can avoid the pitfalls of management fads and achieve lasting competitive advantage.

Book Description

The Art of War is probably the best known war treatise, credited to Sun Tzu, a high-ranking Chinese warlord. The treatise is still highly popular, especially among businessmen and entrepreneur, mostly due to the fact that Sun Tzu's tactics, if applied correctly in business, can be of utter most importance. My humble take on Sun Tzu's wisedom is to simply permute war terms with business terms. And the results speak for themselves. By reading the "new" treatise with business terms only, it seems to be the perfect guideline for conducting a business, in any field. From the very beginning of a business, to an exit. The strategy narrated by Sun Tzu is, for me and I believe many more of us, close to perfection when it comes to war techniques. But war can be seen as an agressive form of business, where humans obtain goods of value from other humans.

Book Description

For years, business schools and professional consultants have turned to Sun Tzu's 2,500-year-old Chinese text for its invaluable commentary on such topics as leadership, strategy, organization, competition and cooperation. Now the wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War is made accessible to the modern reader. Not simply a new translation, this is the first book to provide a clear, easy-to-follow interpretation of the classic document. The Art of War for Executives reveals the brilliance of Sun Tzu -- and shows how to win on the battlefield of modern business. The tone and insight of the original classic remain, while incorporating the ideas of contemporary business philosophers like Peters, Drucker and Bennis. "Some of Europe's smartest companies may not realise it, but it is a strong possibility that their most effective strategies have been based on the teachings of Sun Tzu, the Chinese expert in military strategy who lived around 2,500 years ago. His book is a wealth of ancient wisdom translated superbly for today's reader." -- The European
