DiscussionBeing attacked when deep in enemy territory can be alarming and lead to flight or otherwise being on the back foot. It takes organization and courage to attack an enemy that has many advantages. Yet a great benefit of this is surprise. When they feel they have significant advantage they will be relaxed and over-confident. When you attack with your best troops on all sides, they will be confused and fall into chaotic and uncoordinated defense. The secrets of such reaction are organization and readiness. The same applies in business. When you are attacking a competitor, you may expect a confident and strong response. If you can find ways to use this to your advantage and do unexpected things then you can gain a permanent advantage. See also
