Sun Tzu and the project battleground

In his first book David Hawkins explores the lessons that the classic book on Chinese warfare, by General Sun Tzu, has for people involved in setting-up and managing projects.

There have been many business books based on the works of Sun Tzu and a lot of them turn out to be rather stodgy and contrived. This book however uses the Chinese original as a basis on which to build a series of penetrating insights into the rough and tumble of modern business and project management.

I can claim a modest share in this book's success in that I helped the author to decide on what image to use for the cover.



David Hawkins has wide experience of project management in the engineering, energy and extractive industries sectors. He is currently Operations Director of business reklationship management think tank PSL.
