The Strategy Of International Business Chapter 13: Fill & Download for Free

Ooh how I have been waiting for question like this to appear. Thank you very much for this. This is a very legitimately good question.I used to worship ancient Chinese wisdom too. Afterall, I am mostly a Chinese-descent person with 1/4 Javanese blood. 3 out of 4 elders in my family are ultra conservative Chinese traditionalists. One of my grandma has her feet bound, a practice that goes back to early Ming Dynasty. These old folks are hardline diehard Chinese advocates. One of them even still hated Japanese people to this day.So, they of course told me to read ancient Chinese wisdom a lot. Of course, as a good 3/4 Chinese children, I obliged. I read Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, 3 out of 4 greatest Chinese literatures (Journey to The West by Wu Cheng’en, Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, and Water Margin by Shi Nai’an), and accompanied them in watching localized TV drama series based on “Dream of the Red Chamber”.They bought me a lot of “boy” things, American jet fighter models, tanks, army men figurines, and once I was hooked, they started telling me things about Sun Zi. They never read it and thus couldn’t say much, so I did. A lot of comic books by Taiwanese comic artist Tsai Chih-Chung, and Beijing illustrator Ren Changhong.When I finally graduated high school, my elders planned to buy me a book. They asked me, what kind of book do you want to read?I answered clearly “Sun Zi’s Art of War!”“But you have so many Sun Zi’s book already, why do you want to buy another?”“Those are comic books full of practical illustrations, I want the real deal! The serious wordy book that discuss about all 13 chapters of the original Art of War.”“Fine choice! We are very proud of you, boy!”So, in this Singapore-published, Hong Kong-written “Sun Tzu’s Art of War for Business” it quoted several remarks about the book from several famous figures that I never verified. It said that Kaiser Wilhelm II quipped that he shouldn’t have lost the throne if he read this book in the first place. Then Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as Bernard Viscount of Alamein Montgomery.I kind of indulged in mocking this “superiority” impression that sometimes accompanies the oriental mysticism. The hypocrite Asians hated it as a pervasive superstitious stereotype, yet dwelled on the misdirected amazements at it. Classical figures like Zhuge Liang, which reputation was overinflated in Luo Guanzhong’s novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, also received that kind of glorification.The facts are simple:Regarding the Chinese-Taiwanese book: Kaiser Wilhelm I is sinophobic bigot, a big “yellow peril” propagator, to the point that it annoyed Queen Victoria and offended President Theodore Roosevelt, both Asian culture fans. I seriously doubt he read a Chinese book.Zhuge Liang’s side lost the war. His side was outlasted by rival kingdoms Wu and Wei. The novel’s perspective cleverly excuses Shu’s losses as series of misfortune and scapegoating Liu Bei’s previously unwanted son. All of them neglected their “printing a worthy successor” duty.So, Sun Tzu’s (or Sun Zi) Art of War is never a cure-all, fix-all magic book that made its reader invulnerable in all kinds of war. Just like Tai Chi or some kungfu techniques makes you invincible in hand-to-hand combat. China not only suffered greatly during World War 2, but since the time when Sun Zi’s book has been published, they also:Lost to a group of barbarian tribes such as the Xiongnu during Han Dynasty. They are forced to pay tributes to keep them off their Western borders.Lost to the Northern Jin, about a thousand years later.Lost to the Mongols, soon.Lost to the Manchurians, another few hundred years later.Lost to the European & US powers, another hundred years later.Ceded vast amount of territories to Japan, before going down to civil war, the traditionalist lost to the “uncultured and rootless” communists.Those are just the famous ones, China has suffered so much defeat and facing internal uprisings that they failed to contain several times throughout the history.So to answer your question:If the Art of War by Sun Tzu is a useful masterpiece in strategies, why would China lose in the Second World War? If China had applied the strategies, why would it be still terribly invaded by Japan? If China had not applied them, why?Let’s disect this into several points:Is Sun Tzu’s Art of War really useful?Yes, of course. It preached all the right messages, that probably has become a cliché, yet remains true.Don’t waste resources, don’t fight a war for prolonged time, don’t fight in unknown grounds, don’t fight a war you know you can’t win, preparations beat the unprepared, do not corner an enemy into desperation, never attack the strong points, always attack the weakpoints, etc etc etc yada-yada-yada. Your opponent probably has been reading the same material as you do.But it is like the age old simple misattributions:“is eating salad healthy?”Yes, it is relatively healthier than eating meats.“is eating apple healthy?”Yes, for the same reason.“Can I cure my sickness by eating salads and apples?”It may help, but to be sure, please see a qualified physician or doctor.Sun Tzu’s advices are like basic instructions: never get distracted when driving. Stay focused when playing football. Series of cliché advices, often ignored, but often made people regret for not heeding it.Yes, I have read this book more than a thousand times, why can’t I beat the other guy?Is the other guy illiterate? No? He probably had read the same material too. Easy.Sun Tzu’s principles are too broadly defined that made his words almost infallible. You might as well tell him, “thanks captain obvious!”But his best advice for me, my personal favourite is probably this:“It is always best to defeat the enemy by defeating their plans rather than fight them and win in open battles.”Original quote from Chapter 3:Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plansTherefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.This principle is applicable in almost everything. You beat the opposing football team’s strategy and game play, rather than practically wrestled them out of ball possessions.Yeah, but the French team never really have a good strategy to win the World Cup. Does this principle not apply?Well, since “defeating their gameplan” requires intel report on their actual gameplan, then if you don’t have reliable intel, how are you going to target at “their gameplan?”So, all they need to do is just to turn their strength into their weakness, then forcing them to play our strength, using our advantage for our own benefit. France handed the opponents the ball, letting them have the possession, which they need to hold against technically superior and gifted French players. Then their possession build up can be instantly turned against them by dashing lightning quick counter attack. This is an example of the application of another cliché “know yourself and know your enemy”, and the “energy” or turning the momentum principle as in this quote:Therefore the good fighter will be terrible in his onset, and prompt in his decision.So, if China had applied the strategies, why would it be still terribly invaded by Japan? If China had not applied them, why?Easy, modern warfare are more than just the wisdom of Huang Shigong, Sun Wu Zi (Sun Tzu), Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, Yue Fei, and so on. And it is not like their wisdom aren’t unknown to the Japanese as well. Japan has been reading Chinese history since long ago. Takeda Shingen is a known reader of Sun Zi’s book, let alone Japanese military officers in World War 2.There were gunpowder technologies involved, that did not exist during Sun Zi’s time. Then the major factors: artileries, tanks, and aircrafts. It makes applying Sun Zi’s theory much more difficult in literal sense.Yes, China lost air superiority, and thus no matter what Sun Zi lesson they applied, they would still lose. I don’t know the details, but defeated parties during World War 2 never had air superiorities.The French forces in 1940 had superior tanks, yet they all lay sitting ducks to German dive bombers. The Germans at 1943 Kursk campaign were exposed to Soviet’s air attacks, slowing their advances greatly, because although the Luftwaffe was not completely defeated, they can’t maintain dominance in the air. Normandy 1944, obviously, the Germans are unable to answer back, because their ground forces are being bombarded from air, such as the 21st Panzer Division that was meant to push towards Juno Beach and the carpet bombing of Panzer Lehr division during the opening of Operation Cobra.Some of the Chinese military strategy during the World War 2 may very well follow Sun Zi’s. They know that their forces are inferior to the Japanese, and decided to avoid direct confrontation instead. This preservation of strength lead to unspeakable consequences. While swath of densely populated coastal teritorries were ceded to the Japanese, where numerous atrocities and cruelties were committed.The Mindset of a NativistsThe Chinese traditionalists and aristocratics, occupying most of the Chinese teritorries as a warlord allied to the Nationalist China at the time, probably were stuck to their classical ancient military theories and never gave airpower or mechanised warfare a serious thought.To give you a picture of the seriousness of this kind of problem amongst Asians, you need to experience it firsthand.In 21st Century Indonesia, there was this return-to-abacus fad, rumoured to be able to make your children count “faster than a calculator”. For certain cases, it could be true, but in overall, it was a fad, fueled by Chimese nativists, seeing their ancient tool (abacus) getting an enthusiastic revival in the face of western technology (calculator and computer) dominance.It is very easy to imagine those old generalissimos discussing Sun Tzu’s Art of War enthusiastically and convincing themselves that they will be able to defeat Japan, by believing in their better understanding of Sun Tzu’s works.It is more or less, a repeat of Boxer rebellion once again. A bunch of kungfu fighters with acrobatic Shaolin-like martial arts skills trying to dodge bullets. This time, a bunch of classicists trying to win modern war using their obsolete understanding of “catch-all” military warfare principles.Right now, in a hindsight, we can just easily ask: “do they ever read this?”We mean this obvious part of Sun Zi’s Art of War:Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.“Do they even know that the Japanese has planes, bomber planes, capable of raining down bombs upon us?”Yes, and it seems that Japan has already “defeated” China even before the war started. Japan was superior in technology and industrial capability. It appears that they already “balked” Chinese plans.Applying a catch-all principlesI mean, it took more than just reading and understanding Sun Zi’s book in its native language to be able to practice it.It requires a lot of effort to adhere to Sun Zi’s principles. For example: educating yourself about the enemy. It is clear here, that wrong understanding about the enemy will still result in your probable defeat according to Sun Zi.Remember, never treat the Art of War like a religious book.Too many people think that the principles are infallible. Of course it is, judging from the ambiguous and wordings that are very open to interpretations. Afterall, it is an “art” piece, not a manual or guidebook with detailed exact instructions.Too many people think that by reading and understanding the book, they will be invincible in warfare, just like they think about instant salvation through the Holy books. Nah, it is not like that in the real world.There is more to warfare than just Sun Zi’s books.
