Why you should read Corporate Aikido

Robert Pino uses the model of success in the martial art of aikido to show how corporations today can succeed. Aikido believes in winning without fighting and in gaining a victory over yourself. In business, that means concentrating on building your own strengths, rather than trying to launch an aggressive attack. You deflect attacks against you by neutralizing your competitor and taking over his power and energy. Pino discusses ways aikido’s philosophy applies to the business world and gives examples of how major companies have used this approach. This interesting, original book suffers from two writing faults: occasional long, difficult-to-read sentences and repetition of the same ideas. Nonetheless, getAbstract recommends this book to those seeking new strategies for strengthening their organizations in a competitive marketplace.
