Drawing on their 30 years of experience with Chinese multinationals and companies, the authors cast a clear light on corporate China and those who embody it. The book includes concrete examples to analyse management and strategic concepts that challenge methods to which Western companies are accustomed. These are coined the "Dragon Tactics", a systematic implementation of the principles: try, fail, try again and fail again until until you achieve a satisfactory result. The book describes various aspects of China's history, the processes to find success in an uncertain environment, and management methods which equally borrow both from Confucianism as well as new technologies. It reveals many lessons to be learned by Western leaders, not only how to succeed in China, but more importantly, how to better navigate an increasingly uncertain and volatile world far beyond China's borders.

From the creator of the popular blog The Monsters Know What They’re Doing comes a compilation of villainous battle plans for Dungeon Masters. In the course of a Dungeons & Dragons game, a Dungeon Master has to make one decision after another in response to player behavior—and the better the players, the more unpredictable their behavior! It’s easy for even an experienced DM to get bogged down in on-the-spot decision-making or to let combat devolve into a boring slugfest, with enemies running directly at the player characters and biting, bashing, and slashing away. In The Monsters Know What They’re Doing, Keith Ammann lightens the DM’s burden by helping you understand your monsters’ abilities and develop battle plans before your fifth edition D&D game session begins. Just as soldiers don’t whip out their field manuals for the first time when they’re already under fire, a DM shouldn’t wait until the PCs have just encountered a dozen bullywugs to figure out how they advance, fight, and retreat. Easy to read and apply, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is essential reading for every DM.

"DoD's focus has now shifted from Europe to Asia and SW Pacific. This book describes the extent of Islamist and Communist expansion there and how to reverse it. As both takeover tries involve drugs and are otherwise similar, only one solution is needed. Instead of occupying nations or training armies, the Pentagon must blanket the area with tiny law-enforcement-assistance teams. This takes more police and Unconventional Warfare (UW) ability than any U.S. grunt or special operator currently has. Part One details the subversion. Part Two shows what teams must know about criminal investigative procedure. Part Three has the UW techniques to escape encirclement. As such, this book may be America's only UW tactical-technique manual"--amazon.com.
