The Art of War by Sun Tzu has become a very popular book for military and businessmen in America, however, it seems it has been a requirement for them here in China since it was written. Although the stories are about war strategies, the lessons they provide can and have easily been adapted to the business world. Whether you come to China for business or plan to do any serious interaction with Chinese businessmen, I strongly recommend reading and learning this book thoroughly. Whether they realize it or not, the lessons taught in this book are embedded into many Chinese business practices. I chose this special edition to link to, however, there are many translation available online or at your local bookstore.
