Blue Ocean Strategy

The origin of the terms red and blue oceans comes from Blue Ocean Strategy – How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant.

Recognized as one of the most iconic and impactful strategy books ever written, Blue Ocean Strategy argues that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool.

It presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any organization can use to create and capture their own blue oceans.
