Origins of the word - The word finds its roots in the French ''stratégie,'' which is ultimately derived from the Greek languageGreek ''stratēgos'', which referred to a 'military commander' during the age of Athenian Democracy.

Historic Texts On Strategy - The nature of historic texts differs greatly from area to area, and, while there are some potential parallels between various forms of strategy (noting, for example, the popularity of the Art of War as a business book), each domain generally has its own foundational texts, a brief mention of some of these follows:

Political strategy

*The Prince published in 1532 by Machiavelli

Military strategy:

*The Art of War written in the 6th century BC by Sun-tzu

*On War by Carl von Clausewitz

*The Influence of Sea Power upon History by Alfred Thayer Mahan

Economic strategy

*General Theory of Employment Interest and Money published in 1936 by John Maynard Keynes

Business strategy

* Competitive Strategy by Michael Porter
