Abstract
The concept of strategy is as old as humanity itself. The first attempts at systematization and characterization took place in the military field (Philip of Macedonia, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu, Napoleon, for example), although the strategic component in the thinking of other great leaders or thinkers (Machiavelli, Lenin or Mao Zedong) is also very important. All these have contributed to some extent to the evolution of and perfecting the concept of strategy.
