4.0 out of 5 stars Business asks war for advice.
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015
This book is both a translation of The Art of War and a collection of ideas about how to succeed in business. It reads well. Since Sun Tzu was written for war, some of the ideas appear not to align together. They do anyway. These ideas could be put into principle in smaller and larger business theory.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Correlation from Art of War to Application...
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2008
Having read Sun Tsu's "Art of War" numerous times... this translation was a little redundant...(first 1/2 of the book...) BUT... the second 1/2 of the book was "A very SOLID READ..." This is one of the best applications of the premises, ideas, strategy of Sun Tsu's classic work and ties them together into good leadership and business applications. This is a must read and must add to any leaders inventory of tools.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful guide to applying The Art of War
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2007
Steven W. Michaelson has written an interesting but somewhat odd book. Its first section consists of a translation of Sun Tzu's classic Chinese text on military strategy, The Art of War. The second section, which takes up most of the volume, focuses on how to apply Sun Tzu's ideas to business. Nearly all the chapters open with a quotation from Sun Tzu, but Michaelson also refers to other military and business leaders. You could benefit from his comments on how to implement your business strategy without ever referring to the translation. That said, the principles Michaelson extracts are sound, and he shares with Sun Tzu the ability to provide clear, broad concepts to guide business strategists in a variety of situations. We recommend this book to executives who want to improve their ability to think strategically and who find it useful to boil down the process of strategizing to a few fundamental rules.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but Peters Out the Last 50 Pages or so
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2007
The first half of the book is great; the second half of the book begins to be repetitive, and by the time the last section is tackled ("Towering Strength"), it is weak...ironic, given that it's all about "execution." The book just sort of peters out....
