Publisher's Synopsis
Strategy power plays brings together some of the greatest ideas on business success from three classic books. Karen McCreadie, Tim Phillips and Steve Shipside bring together the greatest political and military strategic concepts from their interpretations of Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Samuel Smiles' Self-help in a themed compendium. These bestsellers, written respectively in ancient China, Renaissance Florence and Victorian Britain, have inspired readers through the ages with simple yet effective ideas, and continue to drive today's ambitious readers. In Strategy power plays these influential writings have been reinterpreted using modern business examples. The 100 short, entertaining chapters, which include practical tips and inspiring quotations, are designed to help twenty-first century readers make a success of their businesses and their careers alike.
