My research:
I identify three categories of strategies:
Military
strategy, dealing with the choices to make by an
army in order to win a war or maintain peace.
It is composed of different specialties: naval strategy,
air strategy, ground strategy, nuclear strategy, etc.
Economical
strategy, dealing with the choices to make by a
company to develop economically.
Economical strategy covers different aspects of companies
life: search ofr new markets, competition, etc.
Martial
strategy, dealing with decisions (reflexes) to
make in case of a fight or attack by one or several opponents.
Martial strategy includes striking strategy, grappling strategy,
fighting with weapons strategy, etc.
The
French version of this section
includes many books advices.
