Publisher's Summary
Sun Tzu's The Art of War meets the hit podcast Business Wars in this powerful compilation of insights from the biggest business rivalries in history.
Based on the chart-topping Business Wars podcast reimagined using Sun Tzu's The Art of War as a guide, The Art of Business Wars features stories and lessons from history's greatest business rivalries revealing why some companies triumph while others crumble.
Business is a fight for survival. In business as in war, leaders match their wills in pursuit of opposing outcomes, they devise strategies and marshal resources for victory. Success can turn on the smallest of details; a single tactical blunder can topple an empire. Ultimately, one side triumphs - and victory is all that matters.
In The Art of Business Wars, David Brown, host of the hit podcast Business Wars, masterfully frames some of the biggest business rivalries in history using revered Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu's insights and pragmatic advice. Each rivalry tells a story of combined wits, strategies and resources. Brown chronicles the rise of companies as they vanquish rivals, formulate innovative plans and adapt to keep up with shifting needs. The goal? Stay ahead of the competition and emerge victorious.
By compiling powerful insights uncovered over hundreds of podcast episodes and more than a year of in-depth research, Brown has developed a formula for business intrigue rich in popular history. The stories in The Art of Business Wars will inspire you and the lessons you can draw from them - about determination, ingenuity, patience, grit, subtlety and other traits that contribute to a victorious enterprise - are invaluable, whether you're a creative freelancer or the CEO of a multinational manufacturer.

Review 5/5
Thoughts:
🐨 This was such an accessible, informative book highlighting 26 businesses in various sectors as they competed with each other, with technology and with themselves in order to survive and thrive in the ever changing global economy.
🐨 It was a collection of how organisations continued to innovate, and engage in the sector but I particularly enjoyed discovering companies’ origin stories. The book does include narratives of organisations that are covered in the podcast, but goes into greater depth than is possible in a short podcast episode.
🐨 I really enjoyed reading Netflix’s rise to glory, and how Blockbuster lost out on success because they were not willing to change the way they ran their company.

Good but wish it was new content
It’s tricky to review. If you have never listened to the podcast- it’s 5 stars IMO but there’s a lot of over lap so I’ve given it 4 stars. Still enjoyable though.
