Why you should read Strategy Moves
What does General Douglas MacArthur know about business? How can a strategy that Napoleon employed many years ago be relevant in the corporate world? Jorge A. Vasconcellos e Sá has written a distinctive business book, though it is not an entirely easy read. His contention - which he supports with many well-informed examples - is that the detailed rules of war also can be applied to business. He maintains that understanding strategy greatly increases a leader’s chances of defeating any rivals. The author concedes that no leader can control all the variables, so good fortune plays a major role in business and marketing. However, a CEO who follows the time-tested rules of battle will be in a better position to catch a lucky break. getAbstract recommends this detailed, if dense, take on the usual business and battles analogies.
