Dear Colleagues,
I am grateful to announce and share my recently published book by Cambridge University Press. The book was written to provide an in-depth understanding of strategy by integrating Western and Eastern disciplines of business and military. I invite our AIB members to share any insightful comments which can help bridge disciplines and wisdom.
Title: The Art of Strategy: Sun Tzu, Michael Porter, and Beyond
Published in August 2018
Overview
When it comes to strategy, how should we define victory? For centuries, Eastern and Western thinkers have grappled with this question, offering different answers. What can we learn from this difference? The book provides a novel and systematic integration of the two dominant frameworks of the East and West: Sun Tzu's military strategy and Michael Porter's business strategy. This unlikely combination of thinking suggests an innovative extension of our understanding and practice of strategy, which will appeal to scholars, students, practitioners and general readers with an interest in strategy. By aligning the perspectives of these two great thinkers, Moon argues that true winning is about maximizing and optimizing overall value for all engaged stakeholders, and this requires a more efficient approach to strategy. Hence, the key features of the book can be summarized as the following three perspectives.
1. Integrates Sun Tzu and Michael Porter's theories of strategy, whilst analyzing and extending both approaches
2. Combining Eastern and Western approaches to strategy, it provides a global foundational analysis with worldwide appeal
3. Written in an accessible manner that will appeal to scholars, students, practitioners and the general public
