Lesson 123: The Choice of TechniquesThe idea of “shadowing" also requires us to mimic our opponents while we are
waiting for openings to develop. If they are direct competitors, we must be sure
to match their accomplishments, announcements, and new products with
accomplishments, announcements, and new products of our own. If meeting the
challenge requires us to learn more—for example, through research and
development—we must make sure that we never fall behind our opponents in the
race for knowledge. We are waiting for an opening, but we must keep up with our
competitors and follow their twists and turns. This is a very active form of
waiting, on what Sun Tzu calls “open terrain" in a later chapter. |
