2. BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY
• ‘Blue Ocean Strategy is referred to a
market for a product where there is no
competition or very less competition.’ - W.
Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne
• This strategy revolves around searching for
a business in which very few firms operate
and where there is no pricing pressure.
• Aims to capture new demand, and to make
competition irrelevant by introducing a
product with superior features.
4. Logic behind Blue Ocean
Strategy
• It’s not about technology innovation.
• You don’t have to venture into distant
waters to create blue oceans.
• Competition results in nothing,
innovation does.
6. Apply Blue Ocean Strategic
Moves
• Never use the
competition as a
benchmark.
• Reduce the cost while
also offering customers
more value.

Strategy
• Create uncontested market space.
• Make the competition irrelevant.
• Create and capture new demand.
• Break the value cost trade off.
• Align the whole system of firms activities in
pursuit of differentiation and low cost.

11. Conclusion
• Because blue and red oceans have always coexisted
however, practical reality demands that companies
succeed in both oceans and master the strategies for
both. But because companies already understand
how to compete in red oceans, what they need to
learn is how to make the competition irrelevant.
• Blue ocean strategy can become as systematic and
actionable as competing in the red oceans of known
market space.
