Review:
How to Win in Every Scenario teaches you a business research technique called Scenario Planning. This technique will help you prepare for whatever situation comes at your way; Ethical, Moral, and Conflicts are the three main themes you will face in the business world, and scenario planning will help you prepare for them while promoting opportunities.

The book also gives a lot of examples to illustrate situations you’ll be in; stem-cell research, renewable energy, and conflicts among countries are used to address the three main issues you’ll face. Each example goes into detail about these potential threats and how preparation can be you’re greatest tool. It also delves into the history of scenario planning, as well as the social aspect, but with less emphasis.

Overall this was a difficult read, but useful if you’re involved with any business. It understands the key obstacles that occur in this line of work, and being prepared for it can be the difference between averting and causing a conflict. If you feel that you're facing any of these three issues, I would pick up this book.
