Many of the Chinese military theorists are famous for their military operations in ancient China and their thoughts and philosophies have been repeatedly translated, investigated and discussed throughout the world. Researches with thoughts that were originated from these philosophies were published, advocating enterprises, their businesses and management strategies. T’ai Kung’s Six Secret Teachings or The Six Strategies for War in Chinese Liu Tao was written by the brilliant strategist who helped establish the western Zhou dynasty about eleventh century BC. The three strategies of Huang Shik Kung or three strategies for war of Huang Shi Gong in Chinese Shan Lue was used as a standard reference for military officials in China. It deals with the three strategies, Superior Strategy, Middle Strategy and Inferior Strategy. This paper examines the philosophies of Liu Tao and Shan Lue for the purposes of development of management philosophies of the Powerhouse of Hong Kong Productivity Council, “Three strategies and six focuses”.
