Contents:
Creating blue oceans -- Analytical tools and frameworks -- Reconstruct market boundaries -- Focus on the big picture, not the numbers -- Reach beyond existing demand -- Get the strategic sequence right -- Overcome key organizational hurdles -- Build execution into strategy -- The sustainability and renewal of blue ocean strategy.
Summary: In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, Kim and Mauborgne argue that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than a hundred years and 30 industries, the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from creating "blue oceans"--Untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. Such strategic moves--which the authors call "value innovation"--create powerful leaps in value that often render rivals obsolete for more than a decade. Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant.--From publisher description.
