The web site introduces the Sun Tzu's Art of War and Musashi's Book of Five Rings. I would have liked to include examples from modern corporate history to explain the relevance of these works, but they have too many lawyers trying to make work for themselves. Instead I made general descriptions of situations that could occur. Any resemblance to existing or extinct companies is purely coincidental.
I have written some software to help implement its ideas and translated some sections of the texts. My commentaries are aimed at people that want to implement the ideas but have only a casual interest in ancient Chinese language and culture. My perspective is based on my martial arts and management experience as well as my time living in Japan and Taiwan.
I hope this site will help companies and people achieve their goals more quickly and efficiently without the need of arguments or destructive conflict. If you can do this, you have truly mastered Sun Tzu's technique.
If you want to use my software or photos on another website or reproduce them, contact me first at aow@thetao.info
Feedback is welcome at aow@thetao.info You may write in Chinese or Japanese if that is your preferred language.
If you want to argue or criticize, that's fine too, but my policy is I only send a single reply on any topic. This helps me see your point of view, since long arguments only make me cling to my point of view more strongly. Perhaps it works the same way for you too.
