In this expanded edition of the global bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy, W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne present a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant.
Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than 100 years, they argue that cutthroat competition results in a “red ocean” where rivals fight over a shrinking profit pool.
To achieve lasting success, companies must stop battling competitors and instead create “blue oceans”—new market spaces where demand is created rather than fought over.
The book outlines key principles and tools, such as the Strategy Canvas and the Four Actions Framework, to help organizations break the value-cost trade-off and achieve both differentiation and low cost.
This edition features a new preface, updates on all cases, and extended chapters that address alignment and renewal.
It serves as a comprehensive guide for any organization looking to move away from bloody competition and toward innovative, profitable growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Lasting success comes from creating “blue oceans” of uncontested market space.
- The strategy focuses on making the competition irrelevant rather than beating them.
- Tools like the Strategy Canvas help companies visualize and execute this shift.
