Blue Ocean StrategyRed oceans
• Full of bloody competition• The rules are created by
someone else• You become obsessed with
what your competitors are doing
• The ocean is crowded with too many people doing and saying the same thing
• Marketing is expensive – you have to out spend or out-shout everyone else
Blue oceans
• Competition is irrelevant because the rules have not been set yet
• You’re creating a new and uncontested market space
• You are offering customers real value innovation
• Customers will come to you and which means marketing costs less
