War art and aspects of war

Sun Tzu, the author of the book The art of war was a general, strategist, military and philosopher that belonged to ancient China. He decided to write this work to provide his wisdom to future generals so that they were able to manage wars and battles in the best way.

The book is divided into 13 chapters, each dedicated to the different aspects of war.

It is a book that was written more than two thousand years ago, but, even being in the 21st century it is still in force thanks to the fact that the concepts and strategies proposed in it can be applied not only in the military strategy, but also at the business level and toPersonal level. They can also be used in other areas, such as business world.

It is not a book about war;It is a work to understand the roots of a conflict and seek a solution.

Something that caught my attention a lot is that they teach you how to win battles in the best way. Sun Tzu says that beating without spilling blood is the ideal way to win the war;exploit the psychological weaknesses of the adversary, manipulating it, introducing frustration and confusion.

A strategy can make the other party collapse mentally before paying physically. Sun Tzu mentions that "the best victory is to overcome without fighting", and "that is the distinction between the prudent and the ignorant man".

It is interesting to see how the author had the vision to determine strategies to achieve a victory in a war and how today they are used to manage a country or a company.

The text of the book can be applied in the international business career in several ways. At the time of the creation of a company it is essential to know what are the advantages of the company and who are the competitors. Otherwise it is very difficult to achieve a victory. For that reason, strategic planning is very important. We must know our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, in order to design strategies that allow us to obtain the best possible benefits.

It is always preferable to take the time for planning, with this we have a more likely to get victorious. It will always be better to design a plan before taking action. The one who is better prepared has better and more opportunities to succeed.

The organizational structure is fundamental. When individuals work as an incredible results,. Communication is key. In this way you can get better results than working alone. When this correlation is achieved between individuals, both parties can benefit thanks to the work in qualification.
