Download or read book The Complete Strategy Collection written by Niccolo Machiavelli and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Strategy Collection, a compilation of ancient and historical philosophies, will increase your knowledge of strategy, conflict, and adversity throughout the ages, giving you valuable insight into the past while opening a window to the future. Although each of the works can be considered a manual or diagram for war or engaging in physical combat, the life skills embodied in each can be adapted to everyday life in modern society. Story 1 - The Art of War Whether used on the battlefield or the boardroom, the strategic techniques defined by Sun Tzu in this ancient, classic book will teach you how to gain advantages over your opponents and adversaries. As a military strategist, Sun Tzu carefully explains how to engage in conflict, strategies that ensure you emerge as the victor, and how to maintain a position of power. These tactics can be used even in a person's everyday life today to navigate family, relationships, career, and business. Story 2 - The Prince Considered to be satire by some and a manual for ruling by others, The Prince provides practical, relatable advice addressing power struggles, building and maintaining relationships, and the advantages of acting according to virtue. Machiavelli, born during a time of intense political and religious conflict in Italy, outlines the strategies and influences appropriate of the times. In his attempts at self-promotion, the author aggressively pursues the approval and favor of then-governor Lorenzo de' Medici, to be later criticized for his work. The Prince embodies the discipline, decision-making, and authority of the ruling class common during this period. Story 3 - The Book of Five Rings Originally written as a book of martial arts and strategy, the principles as defined by author Miyamoto Musashi have been adapted to be used in business, to manage conflict, and as a philosophy for life. Although written as strategies applicable to the adversity of the 17th Century, the philosophies overwhelmingly apply in a practical way to the world today, including timing, dishonesty, discipline, flexibility, spirituality, and mastering the balance of each. Story 4 - On War Purpose, goal, and means are the foundation of politics, war, and conflict as defined by the author. Although Carl von Clausewitz never had the opportunity to finish the manuscript, the collected works of On War represent his theoretical ideologies about war, military strategy, and leadership and his philosophy that innate human morals play a significant role in the outcome of adversity. Clausewitz theorizes that motivations, objectives, and emotions influence the delicate balance of power and politics. Story 5 - Arthashastra A wealth of knowledge and information, Arthashastra, is credited as the foundation of government, economics, and law. Compiled of various manuscripts and treatises throughout thousands of years, this ancient script defines philosophies for a broad range of modern traditions, policies, and strategies, including the economy, social welfare, the court system, theories on war and peace, civic duty, and obligations of a king. The wisdom contained in each of these individual works is now dedicated to the world Public Domain.

Book excerpt: “The best education in grand strategy available in a single volume . . . a book that should be read by every American leader or would-be leader.”—The Wall Street Journal A master class in strategic thinking, distilled from the legendary program the author has co-taught at Yale for decades John Lewis Gaddis, the distinguished historian of the Cold War, has for almost two decades co-taught grand strategy at Yale University with his colleagues Charles Hill and Paul Kennedy. Now, in On Grand Strategy, Gaddis reflects on what he has learned. In chapters extending from the ancient world through World War II, Gaddis assesses grand strategic theory and practice in Herodotus, Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Octavian/Augustus, St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Elizabeth I, Philip II, the American Founding Fathers, Clausewitz, Tolstoy, Lincoln, Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Isaiah Berlin. On Grand Strategy applies the sharp insights and wit readers have come to expect from Gaddis to times, places, and people he’s never written about before. For anyone interested in the art of leadership, On Grand Strategy is, in every way, a master class.
Download or read book The Art of War written by Sun Tzu and published by . This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Machiavelli's The Prince and the Japanese Book of Five Rings, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is as timely for business people today as it was for military strategists in ancient China. Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Tzu's classic The Art of War is the first known study of the planning and conduct of military operations. These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu regularly applied outside the realm of military theory.
Download or read book The ARTHASHASTRA written by Kautilya and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2000-10-14 with total page 1001 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary detailed manual on statecraft and the science of living by one of classical India's greatest minds; Kautilya; also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta; wrote the Arthashastra not later than 150 AD though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however; it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems; Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra which is the most comprehensive treatise of statecraft of classical times. The text contains fifteen books which cover numerous topics viz.; the King; a complete code of law; foreign policy; secret and occult practices and so on. The Arthashastra is written mainly in prose but also incorporates 380 shlokas. Artha; literally wealth; is one of four supreme aims prescribed by Hindu tradition. However; it has a much wider significance and the material well-being of individuals is just a part of it. In accordance with this; Kautilya's Arthashastra maintains that the state or government of a country has a vital role to play in maintaining the material status of both the nation and its people. Therefore; a significant part of the Arthashastra has to do with the science of economics. When it deals with the science of politics; the Arthashastra describes in detail the art of government in its widest sense—the maintenance of law and order as also of an efficient administrative machinery.
Download or read book Clausewitz on Strategy written by Tiha von Ghyczy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think about strategy and sharpen judgment in an unpredictable environment Carl von Clausewitz is widely acknowledged as one of the most important of the major strategic theorists; he's been read by Eisenhower, Kissinger, Patton, Chairman Mao, and numerous other leaders. In Clausewitz on Strategy, the Boston Consulting Group's Strategy Institute has excerpted those passages most relevant to business strategy from Clausewitz's classic text On War, the most general, applicable, and enduring work of strategy in the modern West and a source of insight into the nature of conflict, whether on the battlefield or in the boardroom. This book offers Clausewitz's framework for self-education--a way to train the reader's thinking. Clausewitz speaks the mind of the executive, revealing logic that those interested in strategic thinking and practice will find invaluable. He presents unique ideas, such as the idea that friction--unexpected interference--is an intrinsic part of strategy. The Boston Consulting Group is one of the world's leading management consulting firms whose clients include many of the world's industry leaders. Tiha von Ghyczy (Charlottesville, VA) has been a faculty member and Director of Business Projects at the Darden School of Business since 1996.
