SUN ZI ART OF WAR
An Illustrated Translation with Asian Perspectives and Insights
Chow-Hou Wee
While many people have quoted from and analyzed the
Art of War, there are very few translated books that
accurately capture the tremendous wisdom embedded
in the treatise This book is different in several ways from almost all other books currently in the market
First, the hanyu pinyin form of each Chinese character is
included to assist readers to recognize and pronounce them Second, notes have been used generously to explain the more difficult and confusing Chinese words and their possible usage Third, besides explaining the contextual usage and meaning, explanatory notes have been used for other important purposes Fourth, cross-referencing to other key points in the various chapters of
Sun Zi Bingfa has been used Finally, a commentary is
provided at the end of each chapter This serves as a summary of the salient points in each chapter, while providing interesting insight into some of the concepts and ideas propounded by Sun Zi

SUN TZU WAR & MANAGEMENT
Chow-Hou Wee, Khai-Sheang Lee, and Bambang Walujo
Hidajat
The idea of an analogy between the world of business
and that of the battlefield is not a novel one Indeed,
various studies relating the application of military strategies
to business practices have been undertaken It is proposed
in this book that the achievement of Sun Tzu’s Art of War
transcends the military context and offers the basis for an
insight into the nature of modern business practices This
book will attempt to unlock the nature of this analogy by
attempting to examine in a systematic way the extent to
which business practices are capable of being described
and understood in the language of war, and the
implications that may arise as a result of this enquiry
About the Co-Authors
Khai-Sheang Lee holds a PhD from the University of Toronto
He has published and lectured extensively on the
application of both the art (Sun Zi’s Art of War) and the
science (game theory) of strategic thinking to marketing
Bambang Walujo Hidajat holds an MBA from Baylor

be equivalent in modern times to that of Bill Gates’ Whether in the East or the West, every businessman will have much insight to gain from the 12 business principles
of Tao Zhu-Gong

THE 36 STRATEGIES OF THE CHINESE
Adapting Ancient Chinese Wisdom to the Business World
Chow-Hou Wee and Lan Luh Luh
Without doubt, China is becoming a stronger economic power by the day Thus, it is imperative that we learn to better understand the Chinese psyche, especially in the realm of business Despite its modernization and entry into the free market economy, China’s 5,000 years of history, culture, and value systems still dominate the way Chinese think and behave Confusion ethics, Taoist influences, and other ancient Chinese classics still form valid reference points for understanding Chinese behavior The “Thirty-Six Strategies” are well-known to the Chinese and are frequently applied in business practices Though widely known and applied by the Chinese, these strategies are less familiar to others Even less-known is their strong applicability to business This book attempts to bridge this gap of understanding between the East and other cultures
of the world It seeks to provide a timely insight into the mind of the Chinese strategist An essential read for those who wish to grasp the powerful background of rich culture, tradition, and value system that form the Chinese psyche

best of world-wide corporate governance practice in a non-academic, easy-to-read way which provides an up-to-date text for everyone to enjoy Codes, regulations, and legislation in the field are referred to but in the context of making corporate governance a practical reality rather than a theoretical study Directors, managers, auditors, and everyone interested in making corporate bodies more responsive to the stakeholder interest will find this book a must-have for their business libraries
