Blue Ocean Strategy

Blue Ocean Strategy, proposed by Professors Kim and Mauburn, focuses on creating new markets (Blue Oceans) rather than competing in existing ones (Red Oceans). This strategy emphasizes value innovation, which involves pursuing differentiation and low-cost strategies to generate new demand. The approach requires restructuring market boundaries and aligning business activities with new market objectives. Blue Ocean Strategy aims to provide a less competitive environment for growth compared to Red Oceans, where competition is fierce.
