Military Strategy and Business Strategy Workshop in International Commerce 2 A Comparative Analysis of Military Strategy and Business Strategy Hwy-Chang Moon Professor of International Business & Strategy Email: cmoon@snu.ac.kr Wenyan Yin Email: wenyanyin2012@gmail.com Class Time: Tue. 2:30 – 5:30 pm Classroom: Bldg. 140-2, Rm 202 Office Hours: Mon. 4:30 – 5:30pm, Tue. 1:25 - 2:25 pm or by Appointment Office: Bldg. 140-2, Rm 311

Course Description Sun Tzu is the most famous and respectable ancient military strategist. His work of The Art of War is the world’s foremost classic on military strategy, and is still a required textbook in major military schools. Although it is a military work, its strategy and insights are not confined to military affairs, but have been widely applied to various fields of studies, including business. Michael Porter is the most famous and respectable modern business strategist. He is recognized as the father of modern business strategy, and his ideas are taught in almost all business schools throughout the world. His work has had great influence on both academia and practice about competitiveness, economic development, urban communities, environmental policy, and the role of corporations in society. By linking Sun Tzu’s military strategies to various business models and frameworks of Michael Porter, this course aims to integrate the Eastern military strategy with Western business strategy to offer a more foundational wisdom on strategy and winning. This course will help students understand important strategies developed by Sun Tzu and Michael Porter by comparing and contrasting them from various perspectives. Both theories and practices will be rigorously analyzed to develop skills necessary for formulating and implementing successful strategies in business and other areas.
