Applying the classic secrets of competitive dominance to today's business challenges, The Book of Five Rings for Executives provides a powerful and practical approach to gaining an edge in marketing, innovation, or negotiation in the workplace. Bestselling business author Donald Krause has decoded the true meaning of Musashi's classic message for managers and executives who are looking for a competitive edge. Using an approach that helped make his first book, The Art of War for Executives, such a highly acclaimed success (100,000 copies sold worldwide), Krause enriches and simplifies the original, difficult-to-understand material of the five rings into a set of seven clearly defined and easily applied business principles for today's warriors of the wired world: Ordered Flexibility, Execution, Resources, Environment, Attitude, Concentration and Timing.
