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.

In a new spin on an oft-studied classic, marketer and martial arts practitioner Becky Sheetz-Runkle reinterprets Sun Tzu's The Art of War for women in the workplace. The ancient Chinese warrior and military strategist penned the masterpiece about 2,500 years ago, but many business experts believe its precepts are as relevant in today's corporate environment as they were on ancient Chinese battlefields. Sheetz-Runkle extrapolates business lessons from Sun Tzu's maxims to help women build on their attributes, overcome obstacles and forward their careers. The book relies heavily on excerpts from the classic, along with the author's own pithy advice and stories of today's women who are the working world's modern generals. While much of the book's counsel is pretty well worn, getAbstract recommends women read this book to fortify themselves as they do battle in the corporate combat zone.

This book may be the first of its kind in the world: relating metaphorically relevant segments of a 2,500 year old classic 'Sun Tzu's Art of War' to insights gained through statistical analyses of a corporate database built through capturing CEO's perceptions of strategy processes within major publicly-listed ASEAN corporations (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia). This research work has captured widespread press attention across the ASEAN countries including Korea Times. The entire research process of documenting the strategy processes in ASEAN corporations and integrating empirical findings with Sun Tzu's classic text took the authors about 7 years. Through analogy, the authors seek to record in their book, how Sun Tzu's prescriptions on strategy are largely borne out in their empirical research of strategy processes within the major, publicly listed corporations within ASEAN: currently the world's most successful economic region. This book is especially relevant to world management now that China - where Sun Tzu continues to be very much revered - is on the path to become by the 21st Century, the world's largest economy. especially relevant to world management thinking linked to Sun Tzu's Art of War
