Many business rags of the '80s and '90s swore by the Art of War, and I am sure there are lingering sites floating around. There was also a site dedicated to the man and his writing, do a search for Sonshi. I am hesitant to recommend any one place for getting a better understanding of the work in its entirety. Folks have a different take on how each of the constant factors, can and should be applied to the decision making process. Too, remember that there are different translations of the work, and thus there can be subtle differences.

Good luck in your studies, I am sure you will gain much from them.

The Art of War is on my list of books to read this fall because many people quote from it.

If War is an art then I am happy to be a philistine.

...heh...

...however many aspects of life involve conflict. Business is as good an example of any. The principles Sun Tzu laid out are applicable in multiple contexts.....
