Abstract Sun Zi¡¦s Art of War , an outstanding masterpiece, now has become many countries¡¦ military and managerial scripture, such as Taiwan, China, America, Germany, Russia, Britain, France, Japan, ¡K etc. Owning profound charisma, the ancient Chinese product of wisdom provides unceasing treasury of edification, deep cerebration, and pragmatic core concept. It has been spread for two thousand years ago, and still prevails among the world now. So long can it be spread, not only it has the remarkable idea of an epoch, but also it has different and flexible elucidation for various environments and conditions. Thus, Sun Zi¡¦s Art of War can be applied in a variety of domains, e.g. military, diplomacy, economy, education, culture, management¡Ketc. Especially it is famous that US has applied the Sun Zi¡¦s Art of War in conducting in real war operation, and Japan has studied it for a long time and applied it in the business management. Thus, there must be much more enlightenment in the application of Sun Zi¡¦s Art of War for business management, particularly in the area of leadership, strategy, innovation and decision. The main purpose of this study is to use qualitative method to probe the implication of Sun Zi¡¦s Art of War, and to apply them in the area of leadership, strategy, innovation and decision. The conclusions of this research are: 1. In the domain of leadership, we get 2 important points¡G (1) Leadership is a matter of intelligence, trustworthiness, humaneness, courage, and sternness (Strategic Assessments);(2) If you know your soldiers are capable of striking, but do not know whether the enemy is invulnerable to a strike, you have half a chance of winning. If you know the enemy is vulnerable to a strike, but do not know if your soldiers are incapable of making such a strike, you have half a chance of winning. If you know the enemy is vulnerable to a strike, and know your soldiers can make the strike, but do not know if the lay of the land makes it unsuitable for battle, you have half a chance of winning. Therefore those who know martial arts do not wander when they move, and do not become exhausted when they rise up. So it is said that when you know yourself and others, victory is not in danger; when you know sky and earth, victory is inexhaustible. (Terrains ). The requisitions of a leader are to cultivate the style of majesty, to adapt himself to circumstances, to be a model of virtue for others, to adopt the honesty opinions, to absorb the profound knowledge, and to act enthusiastically and actively. 2. In the domain of strategy, we get 2 important points: (1) The general rule for use of the military is that it is better to keep a nation intact than to destroy it. It is better to keep an army intact than to destroy it, better to keep a division intact than to destroy it, better to keep a battalion intact than to destroy it, better to keep a unit intact than to destroy it (Planning A Siege); (2)Therefore those who win every battle are not really skillful -- those who render others' armies helpless without fighting are the best of all ( Planning A Siege). Firstly, we use the ¡§the judgement of structure¡¨ in the processes of strategic planning to analyze the internal and external environments of an enterprise, then define the problems clearly. Secondly, ¡§the number in mind¡¨ can be used in knowing the SWOT of a company. Thirdly, ¡§action in the selection of advantage¡¨ can plan the initiatives. Fourthly, ¡§the judgement of structure¡¨ can analyze the feasibility of initiatives. Fifthly, ¡§the creation of environments¡¨, ¡§win without fight¡¨, ¡§usage of detour and direct¡¨¡K.etc., will ascertain the future strategies. Sixthly, energize the organization to execute the ascertained strategies. Seventhly, to evolve a new style of strategy and to accumulate the resources. Eighthly, combine with the first item, then constitute an integral and effective process of planning. 3. In the domain of innovation ,we get 2 important points¡G (1) Therefore one who is good at martial arts overcomes others' forces without battle, conquers others' cities without siege, destroys others' nations without taking a long time. It is imperative to contest all factions for complete victory, so the army is not garrisoned and the profit can be total. This is the law of strategic siege ( Planning A Siege); (2) So to fail to know the conditions of opponents because of reluctance to give rewards for intelligence is extremely inhumane, uncharacteristic of a true military leader, uncharacteristic of an assistant of the government, uncharacteristic of a victorious chief ( Use Of Spies). The requisitions of a successful innovation are selection of an adequate leader, correct and precise diagnosis, determination of action plan, sincere and sufficient communication, right procession of innovation, and exactness of examination. 4. In the domain of decision ,we get 2 important points¡G (1) The flow of water is determined by the earth, the victory of a military force is determined by the opponent. So a military force has no constant formation, water has no constant shape: the ability to gain victory by changing and adapting according to the opponent is called genius (Emptiness and Fullness); (2)According to the rule of military operations, there are nine kinds of grounds.(Nine Grounds). According to the principles of resolution, emptiness & fullness, change, swiftness, completeness, advantages, scrutinization make decisions, Sun Zi believed that such principles will make the decisions easier to implement successfully.

Master of Arts / Department of History / David R. Stone / This paper examines the influence of Hannibal of Carthage on the art of war over time. Hannibal’s war with Rome provides a complex example of strategic and tactical successes and failures that have been modeled and studied throughout military history in one fashion or another. The method of research was a literature review organized into chapters with relevant examples from ancient through modern history. The primary finding was that Hannibal’s examples have been interpreted according to the needs of each observer. There was no uniform conclusion of lessons drawn from Hannibal’s campaigns. Perceptions were drawn by each author based on time and particular circumstances. For instance, Machiavelli pillories Hannibal’s use of mercenaries as the antithesis of a virtuous society. Alfred von Schlieffen studied the tactical battle of Cannae and attempted to construct a strategic level plan for war in Europe based on lessons drawn from his study. Victor Hanson cites Hannibal’s war with Rome as a metaphor for the West’s current conflict with Islam, implying that the West will be ultimately victorious in this latest confrontation owing to the superiority of its institutions. The main conclusion that can be drawn is that Hannibal’s successes and failures are still relevant for study by historians and practitioners of the military arts even though there is no one set of definitive lessons learned.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att pröva om Jominis principer om militärteori har någon inverkan på dagens slagfält, genom att de påverkar amerikanska doktriner, och därmed strategiskt och operativt tänkande. Dagens högteknologiska stridsfält är betydligt mer komplext och består av fler dimensioner, än det fanns när Jomini verkade. Det blir då viktigt att förstå de klassiska strategiska tankegångarna som ligger till grund för de operativa men även taktiska besluten. Det blir intressant att forska om och hur Jominis teorier verkligen har haft påverkan på de amerikanska doktriner som utvecklats efter 1976, speciellt då väst europeiska, även svenska, doktriner främst anses vara påverkade utav Clausewitz och dennes syn på krig. Inte minst då svensk militär personal interagerar med amerikansk militär personal på den internationella arenan, vilket sker i stort sett dagligen under internationell tjänstgöring. Uppsatsen kommer fram till slutsatsen att Jominis principer fortfarande påverkar amerikanska doktriner. Detta i sig ger en förståelse för hur amerikanskt strategiskt och operativt tänkande, och hur Jomini har påverkat utformningen av dem. Det ger även en insyn i hur samtidens högteknologiska stridsfält som består av flera dimensioner påverkas av klassiska militärteoretiska och strategiska tankegångar som i slutänden även påverkar de taktiska beslut som tas på slagfältet. Det ger även en förståelse för vilken militärteoretisk och strategisk bakgrund amerikansk militär personal har, vilket blir viktigt att ha förståelse för när svensk militär personal ska agera med dem på den internationella arenan, särskilt på de högre ledningsplanen. / The purpose of the essay is to examine whether Jominis principles of military theory has bearing on today's battlefields, by affecting American doctrine, and thus strategic and operational thinking. For even if today's high tech battlefield is far more complex and consists of more dimensions, than there were when Jomini composed his theories. It is important to understand the classical strategic thinking that makes up the basis for the operational as well as tactical decisions made.It is interesting to investigate whether and how Jominis theories really have an impact on the American doctrine developed since 1976. Especially so as in Western Europe, includingSweden, doctrine is primarily considered to be borne out of Clausewitz theoretical vision of war.It becomes important to have an understanding of this as Swedish military personnel interact with American military personnel in the international arena, which occurs nearly on a daily basis. The essay concludes that Jominis principles continue to hold sway of U.S.doctrine. This in itself provides a new understanding of howU.S.strategic and operational thinking works. And how Jomini has influenced the design of them, it also gives an insight into how contemporary high-tech battlefields, which consists of several dimensions is influenced by classic military theory and strategic thinking. This in turn also affects the tactical decisions taken on the battlefield.This also provides an understanding of the military theory and strategic view that affects American military personnel, which is important to understand when Swedish military personnel interact with them in the international arena, particularly at the higher levels of the command structure.

This thesis focuses on the Huaihai Campaign (Nov. 6 1948 - Jan.10 1949) in the Chinese Civil War (1927-1936, 1949-1950). This war involved the Republic of China’s (ROC) Kuomintang Party (KMT) and the emerging Communist Party of China (CPC). Over the course of a few months and around one million combatants, the Communists pulled off a resounding victory dealing the final blow to the KMT which led to the CPC’s governance over mainland China. This case study of two key turning points in the Huaihai Campaign is analyzed using Sun Tzu’s five net assessments from The Art of War. Although the KMT appeared the much superior force on paper, they were dealt a decisive blow during the Huaihai Campaign. This thesis uses Sun Tzu’s five net assessments to explain the root cause of KMT decision failings. The KMT failures stemmed from ignorance of the most basic and vital military axioms of assessing advantages and disadvantages before going into battle.

In this dissertation, I map the experimental margin of Algerian cinema between 1965 and 1979 against the paradigmatic film about Algeria, Gillo Pontecorvo and Yacef Saadi’s The Battle of Algiers (1965). I focus on the period immediately following the successful conclusion of an eight-year war waged by the Algerian National Liberation Front against France. It is known as the “Golden Age” of Algerian cinema, a span of nearly fifteen years after the film industry was nationalized when culture was generously financed by newly exploited petrochemical resources in the Sahara. This mapping has two aims, the first of which is straightforward: I read four films made in Algeria by Algerian filmmakers closely in light of their socio-political contexts and I argue that together they represent a significant and overlooked minor history in Algerian film. The films are Tahia Ya Didou! by Mohamed Zinet (1969), Omar Gatlato by Merzack Allouache (1976), La Nouba des Femmes du Mont Chenoua by Assia Djebar (1976), and Nahla by Farouk Beloufa (1979). They are significant formally and in terms of their critical reception at the time and since the late 1960s and early 1970s among Algerian filmmakers, but they are crucially significant as ambivalent testimony about life after the colonial period and about the traumatic effect of the long and violent struggle for liberation. Second, I read these films against the Battle of Algiers in its socio-political context. I argue that the aspects of the War of Liberation that fall out of this canonical portrait of decolonial resistance are precisely those taken up by the experimental margin I examine elsewhere in the dissertation. My reading of Pontecorvo and Saadi’s classic film is critical not only in terms of its representation of violence perpetrated by the French but also in the aspects of Algerian history it occludes, namely the history of women. If the margin provides a space for testimony for the trauma of the war, the Battle of Algiers reifies a Fanonian understanding of revolutionary violence, an understanding that is constitutively exclusive of women’s role in the war. I read extensively with Karima Lazali on the clinical situation of Algerians post-war. I draw on archival materials from Algeria and France including production notes and documentation of contemporary reception, especially by Algerians. On contextual questions, I read Algerian sociologists, politicians, filmmakers, and film critics as much as possible. My commitment to de-centering especially a French perspective on Algeria allows the rich semiotic exchange between filmmakers, artists, architects, and political activists to emerge and to challenge the hegemonic perspective that Algerian culture post-war was entirely dominated by its authoritarian government.

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / The principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War have been widely used by business executives and military officers with much success in the realm of competition and conflict. However, when conflict situations arise in a highly stressful environment coupled with the pressure of time, decision makers may not be able to consider all the key concepts when forming their decisions or strategies. Therefore, a structured reasoning approach may be used to apply Sun Tzu's principles correctly and fully. Sun Tzu's principles are believed to be able to be modeled mathematically; hence, a Bayesian Network model (a form of mathematical tool using probability theory) is used to capture Sun Tzu's principles and provide the structured reasoning approach. Scholars have identified incompleteness in Sun Tzu's appreciation of information in war and his application of secret agents. This incompleteness resulted in circular reasoning when both sides of the conflict apply his principles. This circular reasoning can be resolved through the use of advanced probability theory. A Bayesian Network Model however, not only provides a structured reasoning approach, but more importantly, it can also resolve the circular reasoning problem that has been identified. / Captain, Singapore Army
