"When the enemy is close and silent, he relies on steep terrain.
when the enemy is away and provokes an attack, he hopes the opposing party to advance, he occupies a flat area and his position is profitable".
(Sun Tzu)
In this book Stanley Bing describes the practical ideas or strategy of war of the Sun Tzu war scientist who has been proven since thousands of years ago. In more depth we also find a difference between Stanley Bing and Sun Tzu is closely related to the strategy of war. Although the difference is not substantial. Because actually Stanley Bing as the author of this book as well as admirer Sun Tzu only mengkontekskan Sun Tzu starategi war into modern contexts today, especially in the business world, offices and so forth.
If in his day, Sun Tzu said that the best fighters are those who are quite ready, strong enough and wise enough not to fight at all. For Stanley Bing, it was a very unfortunate strategy, proved useless and dangerous, and benefited those whose work commanded others to go to war, while themselves sitting on a hilltop in safe distance while eating.
According to Bing, ancient times and today are two different things. So the strategies used first and now also should be different. This is because the strategy is to adjust to the context of the time. So, be advised in reading Bing that does not blame Sun Tzu's strategy, but he just wants to contextualize the current reality of demanding war strategies within the scope of each field. "Mentranformasi strategy into the world of our work is a necessity if we want to win in the world of our work". So says Stanley Bing.
That means that Bing greatly admired Sun Tzu's strategy. Actually not only him, but most people consider Sun Tzu's strategy interesting. How come? Of course, I can. Bing has the answer:
"For me Sun Tzu's teachings are as easy to understand as the manuals we get when buying european goods".

There are many books that write about the Sun Tzu war strategy besides this book, but in this book, Bing emphasizes one characteristic of Sun Tzu which to him may all agree that in every Emperor he (Sun Tzu) aids, never wore his " ". Or in other words, just sitting at the top of the hill in a safe position while eating.
The real battle is waving banners and enjoying the spoils of war where we work. The question is, Should we not wear "armor" as Sun Tzu in his day? No. Once again, Bing just wants to contextualize that strategy in today's world. For him, precisely We must wear these armor if we want to enjoy the spoils of war as a result of our efforts. Without wearing armor or in other words just sitting around looking for a safe position, would even make us lose in the fight.
The lengths expressed by Stanley Bing in this book. But thought, I see Bing is a figure who sees everything is a conflict whether I win and you lose, or vice versa you win and I lose, depending on the strategy used. In my opinion, Bing's figure tends to see the world seeming to be a dimension or a place where we must fight to win and enjoy the spoils of war, if we do not want to be defeated.

Slowly but surely, between Sun Tzu as a charismatic figure who became the spirit of war strategy in this book and Stanley Bing as a writer and admirer of Sun Tzu are two figures who looked upon the world, both in ancient times (during imperial times) and today (business, and others) are of the same age. That both require us to always win if we do not want to be defeated in a ridiculous. This kind of worldview reminds me of the "Law of the Jungle", who is strong, then he is the one who will live.
Nevertheless, I do not fully blame the two strategists above, both Sun Tzu and Stanley Bing, because I know that there are positive things from them that are a lesson for anyone who will seek the wisdom behind reality.
There is a big question that is anticipated (muntazaar). What lessons can be learned from this book? So whether Sun Tzu's beautifully blended strategy by Santley Bing in this book will solidify your ideological ideals today, especially in the world you work in or what?
The answer is simple:
"Read his book " Strategi Pengecut Sun Tzu" (Sun Tzu's Coward Strategy), or
