Sun Tzu and the Art of Business - Mark R. McNeilly
Description:
To hand down the wisdom he had gained from years of battles, more than two millennia ago the famous Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote the classic work on military strategy, The Art of War. Because business, like warfare, is dynamic, fast-paced, and requires an effective and efficient use of scarce resources, modern executives have found value in Sun Tzu's teachings. But The Art of War is arranged for the military leader and not the CEO, so making connections between ancient warfare and today's corporate world is not always easy. Now, in Sun Tzu and the Art of Business, Mark R. McNeilly shows how Sun Tzu's strategic principles can be successfully applied to modern business situations.
Here are really two books in one: Mark McNeilly's synthesis of Sun Tzu's ideas into six strategic principles for the business executive plus the entire text of Samuel B. Griffith's popular translation of The Art of War. McNeilly explains how to gain market share without inciting competitive retaliation ("Win All Without Fighting"), how to attack a competitor's weak points ("Avoid Strength and Strike Weakness"), and how to maximize the power of market information for competitive advantage ("Deception and Foreknowledge"). He also demonstrates the value of speed, preparation, and secrecy in throwing the competition off-balance, employing strategy to beat the competition ("Shape Your Opponent"), and the need for character in successful leaders. In his final chapter, McNeilly presents a practical method to put Sun Tzu and The Art of Business into practice.
By using modern examples throughout the book from GE, Microsoft, AT&T, BMW, Southwest Airlines, FedEx, and many others, he illustrates how, by following the wisdom of history's most respected strategist, executives can avoid the pitfalls of management fads and achieve lasting competitive advantage.
Even though down-sizing continues to increase corporate competition, and new technology constantly changes the playing field, the basics of business and strategy remain essentially unchanged. Sun Tzu and the Art of Business illuminates the fundamental strategic principles, providing lessons every manager must know to succeed today.

Competitive Strategy
More than a million managers in both large and small companies, investment analysts, consultants, students, and scholars throughout the world have internalized Porter's ideas and applied them to assess industries, understand competitors,, and choose competitive positions. The ideas in the book address the underlying fundamentals of competition in a way that is independent of the specifics of the ways companies go about competing.
Competitive Strategy has filled a void in management thinking. It provides an enduring foundation and grounding point on which all subsequent work can be built. By bringing a disciplined structure to the question of how firms achieve superior profitability, Porter's rich frameworks and deep insights comprise a sophisticated view of competition unsurpassed in the last quarter-century.

Managing in a Downturn
* What can businesses do to minimise short-term pain and maximise long-term competitive advantage? * Are there lessons to be learned from previous downturns? * And what will the future business environment look like?

From Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers to General Motors and Woolworths, the fall-out from the first severe downturn of the 21st century has yet to play itself out.In such uncertain times, the instinctive reaction can be to cut costs and hunker down until things get better. But retreating into a protective shell is not always the right decision for the long term health of your business. Indeed, a downturn can present a great opportunity for companies to reposition themselves, scour the market for good deals, recruit talent from competitors and, ultimately, equip themselves for sustainable long-term success. Managing in a Downturn brings together a range of leading business experts to offer their observations and new business thinking on surviving and even better, thriving in an economic downturn.

Competitive Strategy: Options and Games
In Competitive Strategy, Benoit Chevalier-Roignant and Lenos Trigeorgis describe an emerging paradigm that can quantify and balance commitment and flexibility, "option games," by which the decision-making approaches of real options and game theory can be combined. The authors first discuss prerequisite concepts and tools from basic game theory, industrial organization, and real options analysis, bringing important materials and ideas together into a unified framework. They then present the new approach in discrete time and later in continuous time, beginning with the building blocks of the basic ideas and tools and culminating in richer theoretical analyses. Their presentation of continuous-time option games is the first systematic coverage of the topic and fills a significant gap in the existing literature. Competitive Strategy provides a rigorous yet pragmatic and intuitive approach to strategy formulation. It synthesizes research in the areas of strategy, economics, and finance in a way that is accessible to readers not necessarily expert in the various fields involved. The book will be of interest to scholars, students, and academically trained practicing managers interested in applying these ideas.

Competitive Strategy - Options and Games
Corporate managers who face both strategic uncertainty and market uncertainty confront a classic trade-off between commitment and flexibility. They can stake a claim by making a large capital investment today, influencing their rivals' behavior; or they can take a "wait and see" approach to avoid adverse market consequences tomorrow.

Financial Business Intelligence
From the Publisher
Being competitive in the Information Age demands that organizations not simply collect data, but that they excel using that data to drive better decisions, faster. Financial Business Intelligence: Trends, Technology, Software Selection, and Implementation serves as a good starting point for finance aspects of leading edge business intelligence efforts, efforts that are necessary to win in today's competitive markets." (Bob Lokken, CEO ProClarity Corp.)
This book is a must-have reference for any company that is serious about creating value through business intelligence. Like his previous books on finance, Mr. Rasmussen's approach is straightforward, comprehensive, and objective. Companies that choose not to learn the language of financial business intelligence will be illiterate and unable to communicate value to its shareholders and business community. Mr. Rasmussen's book is the ultimate lexicon for financial and business professionals interested in establishing a dialogue.
Mr. Rasmussen is keenly aware of the revolution that is coming in financial business intelligence. Today, his book is a must-read for financial and IT professionals, but tomorrow, his book will be a survival guide for all business executives.
Mr. Rasmussen has put a roadmap into the hands of every financial professional who has been lost or wanted guidance in conceiving a system and strategy for financial business intelligence.
Mr. Rasmussen has the gift of genius in distilling the complex and abstruse into the simple and obvious. His practical book on financial business intelligence leverages the power of organized thinking and processes into corporate value creation.
This book is a significant milestone in business intelligence and a must-have reference for any business professional interested in developing financial business intelligence tools that can be readily adopted by an organization. (Edward Hwang Director of Financial Planning Earthlink, Inc.)
