    About this ebook

    Business Management and Leadership Expert, M.D. White, releases new book, “The Influence of Military Strategies to Business.” A military-based guide to business takes the best wartime tactics and practices and teaches you how you can apply them in your business—and your political or personal life—successfully. The book is scheduled for release on the 1st of October.
    As a Business Strategy and Psychological Warfare Consultant, M.D. White wrote this book utilizing his countless experiences over the years to properly proffer working, tested and trusted strategies to help business owners or employees, business managers or executives, politicians and or public figures manage high-stake business and leadership situations with the greatest success. White had this to say: "No amount of experience in crucial conversations, or business negotiations, can prepare you better than the information you'll gleam from this manual. It's truly a politician’s guide to psychological warfare. Perhaps its President Trumps bible, and what he reads everynight. The moral of the story is: Use it, or be used by it! Current geopolitical controversies only emphasize this point."
    Many have deliberated over the effect of military strategies in business, but M.D. White cuts to the chase and reveals the raw and missing pieces all other military strategy discussions have left out. In this book, White extracts the key ingredients of military strategies and the applications which are left out in most discussions. For the first time ever there is a clear work-around of military strategies and an easy to understand roadmap on learning how to unlock, grow and strengthen from within one’s influence, presence and abilities.
    The Author further stressed the effectiveness of military strategies in business. “This military-based guide to business takes the best wartime tactics and practices and teaches you how you can apply them in your business—and your political or personal life—successfully. Developed within a systematic and comprehensive framework, this book utilizes the art of war in a whole new way and reveals that the path to a smooth business victory and mutually beneficial dialogue can be found in an unexpected but rewarding place.”

      Praise for The Influence of Military Strategies to Business

      I like this book, because I'm always doing business, and life is war. You can immediately see the philosophy of a study sharpened on the wet stone of a life led by a soldier in the writing. A good man in the trenches is an asset in the office, and MD White is a valuable one. Leading from a sound historical education on the art of war, and guiding the reader by a solid narrative, this is a book for a new generation of forward thinking business men and women to strengthen their concepts of what they will build tomorrow.

      —Josh Sheets

      author of retro horror brain candy novels Blood Night and The Follower

      "I was at first, reluctant to review this book as it is outside of my area of knowledge! My life was never in business but, the military and manufacturing. Basically I was the grunt in the trenches. So the one word that caught my eye was Military! I thought ok, this should if nothing else be interesting, so I whipped out my schedule and shuffled some things around. Yes, as I read your book, I pulled out my overall war plan and saw some advantages to moving this book forward. So now for a review:

      For the first time there is a book on business that a military person can understand! This book is clear and concise in drawing parallels between going to war, and starting up a new business. This is clearly defined by using Sun Tzu's Art of War and good business strategies. The parallels are amazingly similar in both war and business, and certainly not to be overlooked. For the first time in fifty years, I understood what the Author was writing about!"

      —D Hunt Beta and Proofreading

      "I just want to say there are so many strategies out here in this world on how to prepare for the good and bad in the business world. But MD White said it best and the comparison with the art of war plus strategies based on Military processes, training and knowledge is so captivating and encouraging to make you go back and critique your strategies as a business owner.

      If you are a business owner, your personal bookkeeping or contemplating to be a future business owner I recommend that this book is utilized not just read but implemented in your day to day running of your business. There is great food to eat concerning your business, if you don't believe me read this book. This is an awesome read and I pray that it goes far, I pray that you understand what the author was aiming at.

      To make your business better make the purchase now, put it in the library and put it on your bookshelf: it's worth it.

      Your business depends on it!

      About the Author

      Introduction

      The parallels between war and business planning are numerous. The important distinctions between war and business planning involve the ultimate ends of a given conflict. War involves physical destruction and death. When a business conducts operations, economic utility is generated, and employees, stakeholders and society on the whole derive some benefit. The nature of competition is generally regulated by law, and if disputes arise among rivals, either market place conditions or legal systems will make a binding decision over corporate life and death, victory or defeat. Introducing the analogies of war into the business environment is complex and may arouse emotions and an ethos that is contrary to the culture of commerce. As multinational businesses expand their reach, they can be engines of wealth generation and peace. However, if global corporations adopt an overly martial ideology, then the hopes for human progress and cultural evolution will be dashed.

      War planning

      The fundamental objective of a war plan is the imposition of the victor’s terms and conditions on the opponent, which could also be defined as total victory. Military historians can cite exclusions to this definition, however the purpose of this eBook is not centered on arcane military history debates. With few exceptions, modern military conflict results in the deaths of the combatants’ armed forces and civilians, as well as the physical destruction of property and economic assets. Additionally, war plans are usually carefully planned in advance of a conflict, but are rarely executed exactly as projected during the engagement. The arrangements are generally redeveloped in lieu of alterations during a war.

      An example of grand strategy conflict was the Pacific campaign waged between Japan and America from 1941 to1945. Prior to engaging America and Great Britain in 1941, the Japanese created a detailed stratagem. It was designed to suddenly destroy the offensive capabilities of both the Americans (the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor) and the British (key military bases in Singapore and Hong Kong), the rapid seizure of economic resources and territories in Southeast Asia (present day Malaysia and Indonesia) and the Western Pacific (the Philippines, Guam, Wake and Midway Islands). The Japanese planned to achieve these objectives within six months of the start of hostilities. The ultimate goal of the Japanese was to rampage in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, then propose a peace settlement with a demoralized America and Britain to gain international recognition of the Empire of Japan as a superpower.

      America had anticipated war with Japan since the late 1800s and crafted and periodically revised a variety of offensive strategies culminating in War Plan Orange. It served as the United States’ Pacific war plan until the defeat of Japan in September 1945. Fundamentally, Plan Orange called for a decisive naval engagement with the Japanese off the coast of the Philippines, then a naval blockade of the Japanese home islands to force Japan’s surrender. Events (successful air and naval campaigns) and new technology (the submarine, aircraft carrier and atomic bomb) and other tactical considerations altered Plan Orange, however its strategic goal of imposing America’s will on Japan was achieved.

      Many military historians and contemporary business students, view the Chinese military strategist, Sun Tzu (ca. 500 B.C.E.) as the developer of the Bible of strategy. Wong, Maher, and Lee (1998) confirmed that Sun Tzu’s principles are divided into basically two components:

      Knowing oneself

      Knowing the enemy

      Although Sun Tzu recommended that war be avoided if at all possible, he provided warriors with the principles of strategy if war erupted. Many of Tzu’s teachings have laid the foundation for today's theory of strategic management. Sun Tzu's strategy consisted of five elements:

      Tao

      Weather

      Terrain

      Leadership

      Systems

      These elements are presently thought of in terms of external and internal environmental analysis in present-day strategic management. Sun Tzu believed that close management and monitoring of the five factors would build a strong organization.

      Sun Tzu’s five elements constitute the basic components that comprise any war plan. The fundamentals of war planning which includes an assessment of one’s capabilities and gathering intelligence on the enemy to
