Blue Ocean Strategy™ In Action

Introduction

Companies have long engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. Yet in today`s overcrowded industries, battling head-on results in nothing but a bloody “red ocean” of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Tomorrow`s leading companies will succeed not by battling competitors, but by systematically creating “blue oceans” of uncontested market space rips for growth.

Blue Ocean Strategy presents a proven analytical framework and the tools for successfully creating and capturing blue oceans.
