In my experience, the only business people who take The Art or War or Machiavelli's The Prince seriously are half-wits.

Who do you think Machiavelli was writing to?

Sun Tzu's great for military people...but yeah, all this "business is war" crap is juvenile. Tell me, do you have any opinion on the application of John Boyd's theories to business? They started as war stuff, too, but I'm told they have a more broad application.
