Red Ocean Traps
Traps Solution
1. Blue ocean strategy is a consumer
oriented strategy
Reach out to potential non-customers
instead of trying to cater to the ones you
already have. Create new market.
2. Must venture beyond core business to
create a blue ocean
False, stay within your area of expertise.
3. Blue ocean is all about creating new
technologies.
False, value innovation is what opens up
compelling new markets, not technological
innovation.
4. Must be first to the market to be a blue
ocean strategy
False, the first to create value innovation is
the blue ocean. Apple has many examples
of this cited in the book.
5. People misinterpret blue ocean strategy
as a low cost, low price strategy
It isn’t. Lowering cost is not the same as
lowering price.
Conclusion
● The Nintendo Eco Switch Plus will open up a new market for Nintendo by giving their consumers a
product they didn’t know they needed. The Eco Plus will take the original Nintendo Switch to new
heights by improving the processor, design, and price. This new console will create relationships
