Real Time Strategy: A Thousand‐Year Strategic Plan

Abstract

Once while on business in Japan, I took some time off to study the local culture. At a famous Shinto shrine, I saw a gardener trimming a pine tree. He was using a pair of small garden scissors to cut the needles one at a time, referring to a small book before each cut. Coming from a part of the world where a chain saw is the tool of choice for tree trimming, I was intrigued.
