Consider strategy and sharpen your decision-making in an unpredictable world. Carl von Clausewitz, one of history’s most influential strategic thinkers, has guided leaders such as Eisenhower, Kissinger, Patton, and Chairman Mao. In Clausewitz on Strategy, the Boston Consulting Group's Strategy Institute distills key passages from his seminal work On War, highlighting insights that are particularly relevant to business strategy. This book offers a framework for developing strategic thinking, revealing Clausewitz’s timeless principles on the nature of conflict—whether on the battlefield or in the corporate world.
