5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Strategies but how should you implement them?, 3 Sep 2006
By Stefan Drew "(Marketing Magician)" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Any work on Sun Tzu's strategies is a winner as far as I am concerned. The problem is that despite the fact that these tried and tested strategies are as good today as when devised 2500 years ago there is little information on how to devise tactics that small businesses can use today.

It is true that a number of tactics used by large corporates are discussed but how you should scale these down to the smaller business is not mentioned.

I thoroughly recommend this book but can only sugggest you search for a "Marketing Magician" to find the tactics needed to use these strategies today.
