Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich VWL - Fallstudien, Länderstudien, Note: 2,0, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Stratagems No. 9, 11, 21, 36The stratagems number 9, 11, 21 and 36 are four of a catalogue of thirty-six stratagems which have become an integral part of Chinese culture, philosophy and thinking. Although often associated with Master Sun, whose writings on warfare combined traditional and known with cunning and unconventional practices, the catalogue itself is a synthesis of various Chinese accounts from past centuries and has numerous authors.1 The 36 stratagems are known to every person and child in China2; they are tools and techniques whose knowledge of use is supposed to ease confrontations on the battlefield, in relationships and at the negotiations table.The catalogue of stratagems as found in the texts of Professor Harro von Senger is split into six groups, the last of which contains the above mentioned stratagems. This group is composed of escape/flight stratagems.
