“…是故百战百胜，非善之善者也；不战而屈人之兵，善之善者也。故善用兵者，屈人之兵而非战也，拨人之城而非攻也，破人之国而非久也，必以全争于天下，故兵不顿而利可全，此谋攻之法也” A general that fights a hundred battles and wins a hundred battles in not a great general. The great general is one who finds a way to win without fighting a single battle.

In the Art of War, Sun Tzu has created the most enduring empire in human history. He has also redefined success simply as advancing our position, improving our market share, if you will, while avoiding costly direct conflicts.

This strategic process of advancing our position is opportunistic, and is defined as a form of mutual dependence.

In this 21st century, the need for such an approach has never been so vital.

A new paradigm shift has necessitated a continuous development of strategies to win and be in control. Perhaps, even a better approach is to develop a " Collaborative " business model where everyone wins.

Sun Tzu has spoken. Zheng He has the answers.

During this 2D1N Malacca field trip organized by NUS Extension, you will have the opportunity to visit Malacca and be enchanted by the charm of Zheng He and the many historic and cultural visits. Visit Zheng He Cultural Museum and discover the journey through 7 voyages. Indulge in exotic Nyonya food while watching traditional Nyonya performances at Zheng He's teahouse. Attend workshops by Professor Hum Sin Hoon (Deputy Dean, NUS Business School and Author of Zheng He’s Art of Collaboration). We believe you will benefit significantly from this very unique trip.
