10 Principles of Strategy in business,war and ....

  1. Commit fully to a definite objective
  2. Seize the initiative and keep it
  3. Economize resources
  4. Use Strategic postitioning
  5. Do the unexpected
  6. Keep things simple
  7. Prepare multiple,simulaneous alternatives
  8. Take the indirect route to your objective
  9. Practice timing and sequencing
  10. Exploit you success

these 10 sutras are taken straight from the book ,"The Art of the Strategist"
it's probably one of the 1000 odd books on the strategy ,i dont know if its highly recommended or not
as far as i know it was just another one lying in the shelf,hoping to be picked up :)

half way through the book i realise the 10 principles are supposed to be applied in business
now,am no mgmt. guru here and don't plan to act like one ,but i wonder if its really useful in business !
i just get a feeling ,the principles are more apt for war and .... love
(not that am an expert in the next two,but,just a thought)
now go back to the 10 principles and read them once more,one last time

do you agree ?
maybe the title of the post should have been
10 Principles of Strategy in business , war and ... love :)
