Another boring management book for my grad class.
A should-read book on office politics which will happen to you and around you whether you participate in politics or not.
Very good one!
I just can't stand this kind of stuff. Like many others, I was forced to read these kinds of business strategy books as an undergrad business major. Being the enthusiastic reader that I am, I expected to get some entertainment or enlightenment out of them, but was sadly disappointed. When I was working a contract job as a network systems integrator, our contracts had run out and we didn't have much to do, so our boss gave me and my coworker this book to study, thinking it would help us. We would...
كتاب ألفه قائد حربي صيني منذ ٢,٠٠٠ عام بيحكي عن التكتيك بالمعارك والأفضلية والسيادة والانتصار, الكتاب تم تطبيقه بحرب الخليج وبعالم البزنس خصوصي الشركات الكورية متل سامسونغ، وهالنسخة من الكتاب بتشرح فقرات وبتسقطها على عالم البزنس وكيف تنتصر وتتفوق. كانت تجربة حلوة وفيه شغلات كتير مهمة
I really think this is one of the best book for business. He uses Sun Tzu's war tactics and turning them into strategies for business. After he translates Sun Tzu's method, he later adds another translation at the end to give you a clearer idea of what Sun Tzu's means. Then, he adds examples of companies that uses that strategy that succeeded because of it.
Nothing mind boggling here... but some useful reminders of different strategies and tactics of dealing with idiots in the office...
3.5/5 rounded up
This guy Michaelson may be an expert on translating Sun Tzu, but his is a master of neithor warfare nor the art of metaphor. He has butchered and trivialized a great work.
*I read the original book. I've only reviewed this one because it made my 'book published' graph rediculously squished, seeing as it's written so long ago*Interesting. I wonder how many battles have been fought using the methods in this book
I don't like to think of management in terms of war. I'd rather think of it in terms of a garden.
This is the best of all of those gimmicky business books out there that I have yet read. I especially liked how the author first presented his favourite translation, and then a few other translations. It helped me get the feel for the difficulty of translating Chinese ideograms. This way made the book hopefully more faithful to the ideas expressed, even if applied in a business context.
This is the 2nd book on Sun Tzu's Art of War that I've read. The book focuses on breaking down Sun Tzu's 13 chapters (below) into 50 strategic laws for managers/business:1. Detailed Planning & Assessment.2. Waging War.3. Strategic Attacks.4. Tactical Dispositions.5. Use of Forces.6. Strength vs Weakness.7. Maneuvering.8. Tactical Variation.9. Moving & Deploying Troops.10. Terrain.11. The 9 Battlegrounds.12. Attack with Fire.13. Intelligence & Espionage.I like that this book is really compact--it...
Was well worth the read.
What a gem - excellent and entertaining.
