All successful people have one thing in common: they know how to compete. Great competitors are not necessarily great in every aspect of business, but they know what really matters: winning.

What makes great competitors? They have a special genius for strategic thinking. Fortunately, you don’t have to be born a genius to learn strategy. The nine formulas in this book make it easy. They teach you the simple steps to building winning positions.

Sun Tzu's strategy isn’t what you think. It isn’t fighting competitors. It is outmaneuvering them. It is building positions that undermine your competitors’ ability to compete and allow you to win easily.

These nine techniques have been proven and refined for over two thousand years in the toughest testing ground of all, where success means life or death.
