Summary Description
Carl von Clausewitz , the 19th-century Prussian general, is considered by many to be the millennium's preeminent strategist. His book, On War, has rested on the nightstands of Eisenhower, Kissinger, Patton, Mao, and many other leaders.
Now comes Clausewitz on Strategy, a newly translated collection of excerpts from Clausewitz's classic work, aimed at helping 21st-century executives and entrepreneurs grapple with the unpredictability of today's business climate.
The Boston Consulting Group adroitly relates Clausewitz‘ international and battlefield insights, with historical notes and excerpts, to current challenges facing business managers at all levels. Clausewitz speaks the mind of the executive, revealing logic that those interested in strategic thinking and practice will find invaluable.
If you‘re paid to think, as all executives are, you need Gen. Clausewitz at your side!
