THE ART OF BING FA(TM) THE FUNDAMENTAL ART OF WAR is one of the ten book series belonging to a strategy book collection called Bing Fa(TM) Masterpiece. This series is the comprehensive translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of Bing Fa(TM).
The Eastern world calls it Sun Tzu Bing Fa(TM). The Western world calls it Sun Tzu's The Art of War. It is the most famous strategy treatise written by Sun Tzu during the warring era around 2,500 years ago in ancient China. Strategy principles and rules he discovered in this classic treatise are timeless and universal. They have been inspired and applied by all walks of life in all forms of competition from warfare and politics to business and competition and everything else in between.
World renowned rulers and leaders like Emperor Napoleon, Chairman Mao Zedong, General Isoroku Yamamoto, General Giap Nguyen Vo, General Douglas MacArthur, General Colin Powell, and many others had and have mastered strategy principles from Sun Tzu's The Art of War and successfully used them to conquer their battlefields and win their victories. Beyond warfare and politics, these powerful principles have been used in the fields of business strategy and contemporary management. World-class gurus of competitive strategy and modern management like Michael Porter and Peter Drucker have also been inspired and influenced by these principles. Their academic works and business theories such as SWOT analysis, five forces framework, and effective management that are widely accepted in business universities around the world are only the rediscovery of what Sun Tzu had written in his Art of War 2,500 years ago.
Today, people across all competing arenas are now turning to this two-and-a-half-millennium-old knowledge for inspiration and advice on how they can strategically plan their business and advance their strategic position and how they can win and succeed as well as achieve their business goals and accomplish their corporate mission in the rapidly changing and highly competitive globalized-world of today. Unquestionably, Sun Tzu's The Art of War is the true path to victory and success. However, mastering and applying this knowledge on a daily basis still remains a serious challenge for many people.
