Planning: The Art of Business


"The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand."

Sun Tzu, 6th Century BC

Written almost 600 years prior to the birth of Christ this quote from The Art of War does a better job explaining why planning is necessary, as well as what happens when planning is not done, than does any modern day business management book.
