The Arts of War by Sun Tzu – Ancient Strategic Management
25
Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Tze or Sun Wu in other translations, was a historical figure whose authenticity is questioned by historians. Traditional accounts place him in the Spring and Autumn Period of China (722–481 BC) as a military general serving under King Helü of Wu, who lived c. 544–496 BC.
26
To design a strategy of a war, we need to examine the belligerent parties and compare them in terms of the five fundamental factors: The first is the “way” (dao); the second, “haven” (tian); the third, “earth”; (di)the fourth, “command” (jiang); and the fifth, “rules and regulations” (fa).
“Let’s Win without Fighting”“Art of War”
First Chapter: Designing a Strategy
27
Comparison between Art of War and Today’s Strategic Management
Five Factors in Art of War Five Elements in SM
Diao – way, moral influence Vision, mission statement
Tian – heaven, winter’s cold and summer’s heat
external environment, PEST-EL, 5 forces analyses, the diamond theory.
Di – earth, the land, whether it is open or constricted; and the place, whether is portends life or death.
internal environment, SWOT and/or RBV
Jiang – command, wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage and firmness of the commander
Fa – rules and regulations, principles guiding the organizations of arm units, the appointment and administration of officers and the management of military supplies and expenditures
leadership, commitment of senior management team, core competence
1. Rules and regulations, ethics, culture and history,
2. Technology, HR, finance, 3. Corporate governance, CSR
28
There is no general/CEO who has not heard of these 5 factors. Yet it is he who masters them that wins and he who does not that loses. Therefore, when assessing the outcome of a war/business in a global environment, compare the two sides/compete against your rivals in terms of the above factors and appraise the situation accordingly.
Win over your enemy/Compete against your rivals
29
Find out which sovereign/firm possesses more moral influence/a clear vision, which general/CEO is more capable, which side/firm has the advantages of heaven/external environment and earth/internal environment, which army/department is better disciplined, whose troops/teams are better armed and trained, which command/manager is more is more impartial in meting out rewards and punishments and I will be able to forecast which side will be victorious.
Compete against your rivals
30
Western management and Chinese management are equally important
Western management will not be replaced by Chinese management
Integration of Western management and Chinese philosophy
Those who neglect these two factors will be lame ducks
Winner in the 21st Century
