Why do great world corporations turn to the practice of a little-known ancient game? Only in the middle of the twentieth century did the western school of business-strategy start seriously studying approaches and methods of area development and management. Up to now the schools of spatial development and spatial reasoning are new fashionable trends rather than old and well-known ones. Strategic and logical games that are popular in the West such as chess, draughts and dominoes either do not contain the idea of space or include it only as an idea of secondary importance. Space there works as a scenery or frame that provides the game's boundaries. It does not have any value in itself, but the pieces need it for moving.
In contrast, in the Chinese strategic tradition the principles of development, organization and spatial development have been known since antiquity. Moreover, these theories and approaches were taken as the basis of the Chinese civilization. Essentially, the Chinese public administration started with the division of the empire into nine squares. The name of China, Zhongguo Middle Kingdom refers to a place or space. Another, poetical, name of China, Surrounding from Ten Sides , also uses the idea of space. Attention to this idea of space organization and its management runs through Chinese political and military philosophy.
This book reflects only one side of the multifold researches conducted by the authors under the auspices of the School of Martial Art and Strategic Play Ascension. However, familiarity with even only one book will probably help you see new horizons of development for you and your corporation. The strategic concepts described in this book are just a small part of the deep knowledge of strategy that the ancient art of I contains. In the book strategic concepts and elegant solutions built on their base are considered in three spheres: the art of the game of Go, examples from military strategy, and examples from business and politics. The nine elegant solutions makeup a toolset tested by thousands of years of practice in China and Japan.
