The original and bestselling leadership book! Sun Tzu's ideas on survival and success have been read across the world for centuries. Today they can still be applied to business, politics and life. The Art of War demonstrates how to win without conflict.

Kunsten at føre krig er den første tekst om strategi, vi kender, og har på grund af sin enkelhed inspireret fyrster, præsidenter, statsministre, virksomhedsledere og sportsstjerner verden over i mere end 2500 år. Teksten giver indsigt i, hvordan man overvinder sine modstandere. Om man vinder sine slag afhænger af, hvor godt man er forberedt. Har man aflæst landskabet? Kender man sin fjende? Hvordan reagerer omgivelserne? Har man styr på sine tropper? På sine kommunikationsveje? Og ikke mindst: Hvordan bliver vejret den dag slaget skal stå? Kan man ikke svare på disse spørgsmål, skal man ikke gå ind i en konflikt. Dette mesterværk om, hvordan man vinder ethvert slag, uanset om det er en krig, et opgør mellem konkurrerende organisationer eller en politisk magtkamp, er blevet nyoversat og udkommer her i sin oprindelige form.

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise written by Sun Tzu, a high-ranking military general, strategist and tactician. The text is composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare. It is commonly known to be the definitive work on military strategy and tactics of its time. It has been the most famous and influential of Chinas Seven Military Classics, and for the last two thousand years it remained the most important military treatise in Asia, where even the common people knew it by name.Sun Tzu believed war to be an essential wrongdoing that must be got rid of whenever it can be. The war should be fought fleetingly to reduce economic decline. Sun Tzu harped on the significance of placement in military tactics. The planning to position an army must be dependent on the stipulations in the physical surroundings and the subjective thoughts of various militants in those conditions. He believed that strategy cannot be considered as planning with respect to glancing through a previously decided list. It is better represented by the fact that it needs speedy and suitable reactions to altering situations. Planning gives results in restrained surroundings. But in case of an altering environment, similar plans come in each others ways and give rise to undesired outcomes. It has had an influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu or Sunzi, was an ancient Chinese military strategist believed to be the author of the acclaimed military text, The Art of War. Details about Sun Tzus background and life are uncertain, although he is believed to have lived C 544-496 BCE. Sun Tzu believed in the use of the military sciences to effect outcomes that would result in peace. Through The Art of War, Sun Tzus theories and strategies have influenced military leaders and campaigns throughout time, including the samurai of ancient and early-modern Japan, and more recently Ho Chi Minh of the Viet Cong and American generals Norman Swarzkopf, Jr. and Colin Powell during the Persian Gulf War in the 1990s.(The Art of War by Sun Tzu, ebook, 9789380914893)
