Sommario/riassunto

Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, The Art of War has inspired military, political, and business leaders across the world with its brilliant strategies for prevailing against opponents.

Strategy, positioning, planning, leadership--all play equally significant roles, making Sun



Tzu's teachings perfect for small business owners and entrepreneurs entrenched in fierce competition for customers, market share, talent...for their very survival. The Art of War
