By: Pardhasaradhi, Y.
Material type:
ArticlePublisher: 2015Description: p.641-657.Subject(s): Warfare
In:
Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Sun Tzu's concepts are ageless. If you look hard enough, things such as strategic intelligence, planning, attention to detail, cunning, deception, and theories of leadership in which the leader earns authority with the followers, have universal value and are appropriate to any human arena and any period. If part of Sun Tzu's modern appeal derives from the constant search for any nuggets of intelligence that may give an organisation an edge over the competition, another part lies in the fact that The Art of War offers an opportunity to gain insights into the Oriental mind that do not come from someone with a modern axe to grind or reputation to make. This article gives a comparative appraisal of Sun Tzu's work with that of Kautilya, the great Indian philosopher and Carl Von Clausewitz, the great Prussian military strategist. - Reproduced.
