Summary: "This book will attempt to unlock the nature of the analogy between war and business by attempting to examine in a systematic way the extent to which business practices are capable of being described and understood in the language of war and the implications that may arise as a result of this enquiry. The guiding framework that will allow for a systematic study is provided by Sun Tzu's Chinese classic; a work of the ancient past that reaches across two millenia and helps to clarify the debate now raging between the opponents and defenders of revisionism. A strategic management model, called Sun Tzu's Art of War model, is proposed in order to illustrate the course of the argument." --Provided by publisher
