The king is a ruler of the kingdom (a ''corporate leader'') and  as a decision maker  has to be secretive about his war strategies (incubating new product developments) at the same time be offensive and defensive with enemies (''corporate rivalry and competition)'' as the threat perception may be ensuring his survival despite enemy attacks (''presence of substitutes and'' ''complementary products and disruptive technologies)''. Such preaching are of the nature of ''Gupta Mantra''.

The central force of a political architecture is its legal system and the king is a protector and preserver of the law but most definitely not its creator which means his power  is sanctioned and  limited by law.  Be the powers vested, the actions of CEOs of companies are governed by the Companies Act , Income Tax Act, SEBI Regulations, and the likes of these. When no confidence motions (equivalent to dethroning a king) are passed against CEOs in the U.S, his kingship is challenged, by the  board of directors, for non-performance as envisioned for the company and customers. This establishes the temporal sovereignty of the CEO  where the V''arjasva Takat''  (Ultimate power) of the power owner is called into question resulting in dethroning the leader. Recent real-life corporate citations are available to corroborate this. This proves the temporal sovereign status of the corporate leader.

'''Corporate Competition, Competitive Forces and Rivalry''' While Arthashastra can be considered a bible describing the methodology of supreme governance in a political architecture, such tenets can be applied to corporate governance too. Michael .E. Porter has suggested competition from rival firms to be the biggest force attacking business as much as rival forces have the  ability to ruin kingdoms cited in portions of the Arthashastra dossier.('''Shamashastry 7/614'''). In 1979 a professor from Harvard, Michael E. Porter was the first to study Organizational Economics in the context of competition and published his maiden framework ' Porter's Five Forces of Competition' in Harvard Business Review. According to Porter these 5 forces affect the competition within an industry which makes it either attractive or unattractive in terms of  its profitability.

'''Creating a B-Line Leader/ Corporate Succession Plan /Successor''' Most corporate houses lack a sound legacy in leadership though the forefathers may have given birth to a legacy. The newer generation and their thought process do not sync with the value systems and organization culture resulting in conflicting views while decision making on matters relating to policy creation, execution, employee-employer relationship, administrative inefficiency and ultimately financial losses.
