Book Synopsis Sun Tzu The Technology of War by : Sun Tzu
Download or read book Sun Tzu The Technology of War written by Sun Tzu and published by Colin I Thorne. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is another translation of Sun Tzu really needed? Yes, it is. What kind of translation would this be, then? It would be one which the reader did not have to guess at the meaning of what Sun Tzu said. In other words, it would be a translation which was not inscrutable in part or in whole but completely understandable. It would not be a translation which made the reader feel as though he or she did not have the ability to grasp Sun Tzu's ideas. It would not be a translation which made the reader wonder if he or she was applying it correctly. Rather, it would be a translation one could understand and use readily. Sun Tzu The Technology of War is the book which finally allows Sun Tzu to be fully understood and correctly applied. It is doubtful that any English translation of Sun Tzu is based upon more years of research than Sun Tzu: The Technology of War. Ten years went into the research and translation of this book. Each character was meticulously investigated. Warfare of Sun Tzu's era and earlier eras were researched based upon what Sun Tzu mentions of the skill of warriors of ancient times in order to understand what Sun Tzu had observed of warfare and then codified into his laws, rules and methods of war. This is not another translation based upon someone else's translation. This translation has no other source than the wisdom of Sun Tzu.
Book Synopsis Deciphering Sun Tzu by : Derek M. C. Yuen
Download or read book Deciphering Sun Tzu written by Derek M. C. Yuen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-11 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the People's Republic's seemingly inexorable rise to economic and military power continues, never has the need for a better grasp of Chinese strategic thought by the West been more acute. In Deciphering Sun Tzu, Derek Yuen seeks to reclaim for the reader the hidden contours and lost Chinese and Taoist contexts of Sun Tzu's renowned treatise The Art of War, a literary classic and arguably one of the most influential books ever written. He also explains its historical, philosophical, strategic, and cross-cultural significance. His comprehensive analysis of Sun Tzu, based on a close reading of the Chinese sources, also reconstructs the philosophy, Taoist methodology and worldview that effectively form the cornerstones of Chinese strategic thinking, which are arguably as relevant today as at any moment in history. Yuen's innovative reading and analysis of Sun Tzu within and from a Chinese context is a new way of approaching the strategic master's main concepts, which he compares with those of Clausewitz, Liddell-Hart and other Western strategists. Deciphering Sun Tzu offers illuminating analysis and contextualization of The Art of War in a manner that has long been sought by Western readers and opens new means of getting to grips with Chinese strategic thought.

Download or read book Sun Tzu and the Art of Business written by Mark McNeilly and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2000-02-22 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classic works of military strategy that shaped the way we think about warfare: The Art of War by Sun Tzu and On War by Karl von Clausewitz, together in one volume “Civilization might have been spared much of the damage suffered in the world wars . . . if the influence of Clausewitz’s On War had been blended with and balanced by a knowledge of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.”—B. H. Liddel Hart For two thousand years, Sun Tzu’s The Art of War has been the indispensable volume of warcraft. Although his work is the first known analysis of war and warfare, Sun Tzu struck upon a thoroughly modern concept: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” Karl von Clausewitz, the canny military theorist who famously declared that war is a continuation of politics by other means, also claims paternity of the notion “total war.” On War is the magnum opus of the era of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. Now these two great minds come together in a single volume that also features an introduction by esteemed military writer Ralph Peters and the Modern Library War Series introduction by Caleb Carr, New York Times bestselling author of The Alienist. (The cover and text refer to The Art of War as The Art of Warfare, an alternate translation of the title.)
