These diagrams show the relationships among the components of competitive strategic positions including both the Creation Cycle (the Elemental Pentagon) and the Destruction\/Domination Cycle (the Flying Star). Sun Tzu uses these diagrams or maps in new ways. The Creation Cycle map is used to show to flow of resources and costs from one element to another and it reverse to show the flow of rewards. The Destruction Cycle map is used to show the flow of information (and the types of \"spies\") and its reverse to show the most common mistakes in using the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a must-read for those who really want to understand Sun Tzu's text.
