Some interesting strategy, and unfortunately a reality. These tactics are then related to modern business.What is unfortunate is that these tactics are needed at all.Instead of cooperation, and mutual respect, business climates are often hostile and overly competitive - within the organization itself! I did find a few of these very enlightening.The section on "picking your battles" is always sage advice.I often have asked myself and others whether a particular business situation is a "hill we want to die on". The trick is to know the difference.Also of interest are the discussions on "taking the moral high ground".In today's business climate, ethics are more important than ever, as there are far too many examples these days which are evidence that the unstated ethical fabric of business relationships have deteriorated. What is unfortunate is that the Sun Tzu tactics are often useful.While business relationships are often conflict filled battles, one can still hope and pursue mutual respect and cooperation.Overall, an interesting read, and some useful strategic tactics.
Not too original
Great Reference going to not only read again, but study

War as reality and war as metaphor
Best interpretation of Sun Tzu?s classic work I have read
Packed with advice on leadership
Top notch publication Reading Sun Tzu is a bit like reading Shakespeare. You can read it, but can you understand it? "Understanding Sun Tzu on the Art of War" allows you to fully appreciate and synthesize what Sun Tzu is all about.
Brilliant Insights Robert Cantrell gets to the heart of Sun Tzu without "dumbing down" the text, and he makes the text useful and does not simply substitute business phrases for the original text, which I've seen in other Sun Tzu books. Mr. Cantrell has also included a full translation of the original text. I highly recommend this book. ... Read more |

Practical application of a classic book on strategy
Pragmatic Look @ Sunzi's (Sun Tzu) Principles of Strategy.
Entertaining read, but unsatisfying
Great book for people w/o a business sense! I'm finding this book an ESPECIALLY great read, coming from a non-business point of view. If anything, I'm an engineer, and this book clearly lays out things that make you think "hmm, that's plainly clear, but I would have never realized it". It doesn't give you answers on how to run your own business, but it gives you the methods for finding them. highly recommented
You must read it! The work made by Mark K McNeilly helps the reader to apply the greats principles ot Sun Tzu works in modern business life. The six principles are related to strategic management and really make sense. It's clear and interesting. You must read it! ... Read more |

Editorial Review Book Description This Special Edition of The Art of War by Sun Tzu presents this timeless classic in two forms: Section I contains the complete thirteen chapters of Sun Tzu's masterpiece in Chinese together with the English translation of Lionel Giles without notes or commentary. This presentation avoids the objection that commentary tends to clutter and obscure the clarity of thought of the ancient military genius. Section II contains the complete translation by Lionel Giles including his extensive introduction and the fully annotated text with explanatory notes and critical commentary. His Introduction includes an historical account of Sun Tzu's work, evaluations by and of early Chinese commentators, an essay examining the traditional Chinese attitudes toward war and a bibliography that details Giles' source materials. The text in this section includes critical commentary and notes by both the Chinese historians as well as by Giles himself. Lionel Giles, as the Keeper of the Department of Oriental printed Books and Manuscripts of the British Museum, was uniquely qualified to translate and explain this great classic Chinese work to Western readers. First published in 1910, Giles' translation is widely considered to be the definitive English version.

Detailed application of interest to executives and educators
Enlightening & Thought Provoking By the way, the ignorance ofthe Californian reviewer is appalling and mind-boggling.I hope not theaverage American is not like him.What has this book got to do with therecent economic ills of Asia?For his information, I like him to know thatMalaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, and manyother Asian economies are NOT dominated by the Chinese.Interestingly,those that are truly dominated by the Chinese - Taiwan, Hong Kong, Chinaand Singapore - suffered least in the recent crisis.

Editorial Review Book Description We live in a vicious, highly competitive workplace environment, and things aren't getting any better. Jobs are few and far between, and people aren't any nicer now than they were when Ghengis Khan ran around in big furs killing people in unfriendly acquisitions. For thousands of years, people have been reading the writings of the deeply wise, but also extremely dead Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, who was perhaps the first to look on the waging of war as a strategic art that could be taught to people who wished to be warlords and other kinds of senior managers. In a nutshell, Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy was the foundation of strength and that those who fight best are those who are prepared and wise enough not to fight at all. Unfortunately, in the current day, this approach is pretty much horse hockey, a fact that has not been recognized by the bloated, tree-hugging Sun Tzu industry, which churns out mushy-gushy pseudo-philosophy for business school types who want to make war and keep their hands clean. Sun Tzu was a Sissy will transcend all those efforts and teach the reader how to make war, win and enjoy the plunder in the real world, where those who do not kick, gouge and grab are left behind at the table to pay the tab. Students of Bing will be taught how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot, and advance their flags and those of their friends, if possible. All military strategies will be explored, from mustering, equipping, organizing, plotting, scheming, rampaging, squashing and reaping spoils. Every other book on the Art of War bows low to Sun Tzu. We're going to tell him to get lost and inform our readers how real war is currently conducted on the battlefield of life. We live in a vicious, highly competitive workplace environment, and things aren't getting any better. Jobs are few and far between, and people aren't any nicer now than they were when Ghengis Khan ran around in big furs killing people in unfriendly acquisitions. For thousands of years, people have been reading the writings of the deeply wise, but also extremely dead Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, who was perhaps the first to look on the waging of war as a strategic art that could be taught to people who wished to be warlords and other kinds of senior managers.

Sun Tzu and the Art of Modern Warfare
Great book to help you understand Sun Tzu
great service
Treats Sun Tzu as Scrabble There's nothing here that any junior officer hasn't expounded upon in the o-club, usually after they've had a few after an excersize.The various "quotes" given are removed from context, interpreted selectively, and some even originate the commentators, not with Sun Tzu.The way this is done you could get the same strategy advice from a Scrabble set. His history is so poor I lost track of the incorrect dates.Some of the examples have nothing to do with the text used to supporting it if it is correct.He botched the Griffith translation completely, leaving out the footnotes that don't support his position. This is one more book intended only to be sold at overpriced business seminars.Small wonder it sell so cheap on the aftermarket.
