Based on Sun Tzu's manual 'The Art of War' this handbook interprets the language of warfare into that of business, and provides case studies that develop and illustrate the concise and precise rules of the original concept. It is a complete instructional framework with chapters on a range of business strategies such as planning, costing, deployment, manoeuvring and marketing. The case studies use successful Australian companies as lessons in promoting the business strategies. Tal Chalak has a degree in business administration, was a chief executive officer for six years and ran a successful small business.
