About this Item

Minor edge and corner wear to the dj, gently scuffed and scratched, liquid stain at the top of the outer page edges (though not very noticeable), corners are gently bumped and rubbed, overall a very crisp and clean used copy! Extremely collectible! Gift quality! Inscribed by the author on the title page! Dj is nicely preserved in a brand new protective mylar plastic cover! 307 uncreased and unmarked pages! From the preface: "The idea of an analogy between the world of business and that of the battlefield is not a novel one. The metaphor is accepted, consciously or not, in such familiar phrases as the US-Japan Trade War and a militaristic turn of phrase in the boardroom now borders on being a cliche. It was July 1985 that the New York Times Magazine carried Theodore White's argument that while America may have won the military war, Japan was busy winning the economic war. Five years later International Business Week, April 9, 1990, carried a front page headline, 'Car Wars', also dealing with US-Japan trade rivalries.".

About this title

Synopsis

Sun Tzu's Art of War an ancient Chinese philosopher-warrior's rules for successes in battle, is considered required reading at business schools in Japan, and increasingly throughout the world. Now, three Asian scholars and consultants have made explicit how the concerns of war--the terrain, deception, the moral influence of the leader--play out in the boardroom.
