Routledge - The Art of Strategy by Owen Hughes - Business Book

Strategy is more than just a science; it is an art with applications that reach across different eras and situations. In "The Art of Strategy," Professor Owen Hughes explores how the principles used in historical war and politics can be applied to modern business and management. This book helps students and practitioners bridge the gap between historical lessons and contemporary professional success. By looking at strategy through the lens of five specific facets - purpose, capability, will, and others - Hughes provides a holistic way to understand how to plan and execute effectively. Instead of relying on rigid formulas, this book encourages a deeper understanding of the creative practices used by great strategists of the past. Whether you are a student of business history or a professional looking to improve your management skills, this text offers a unique perspective on achieving long-term goals through time-tested concepts.
