4. Blue Ocean Strategy
history
A book published in 2005 and
written by W. Chan Kim and
Renée Mauborgne, Professors at
INSEAD and Co-Directors of the
INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy
Institute.
Based on a study of 150
strategic moves spanning more
than a hundred years and thirty
industries.
5. In the book, the authors argue that leading companies will
succeed not by battling competitors, but by systematically
creating "blue oceans" of uncontested market space ripe for
growth.
They assert that these strategic moves create a leap in value
for the company, its buyers, and its employees, while unlocking
new demand and making the competition irrelevant.
The book presents analytical frameworks and tools to foster
organization's ability to systematically create and capture blue
oceans.

7. Blue ocean strategy
Denote all the industries not in existence today – the
unknown market space, untainted by competition.
Demand is created rather than fought over.
There is ample opportunity for growth that is both profitable
and rapid.
Competition is irrelevant because the rules of the game are
waiting to be set.
An analogy to describe the wider, deeper potential of
market space that is not yet explored.
From a focus on competing to a focus on value innovation.

The best example which are using blue ocean
strategy by doing value innovation :
24. Numerous companies from various branches
of industry have successfully created blue
oceans. Some of them are ;

26. SOUTHWEST AIRLINES
A US company, made history as the world's first low-cost
carrier.
Analysed alternative industries and created new benefits
for their non-customers, cost-sensitive travellers who rather
drive.
The low-cost carrier thus positioned itself as a competitor
to the car – not to other airlines – and adapted its strategy to
the new requirements.
Reduced prices due to the elimination of additional
services.
27. Improved check-in times
Increased flight frequency
This new combination created an offering that enabled the
customer to benefit from the high travelling speeds of an
airplane at low prices combined with the flexibility of
travelling by car.

29. CIRQUE DU SOLEIL
Created a new, highly-profitable market within the ailing
circus industry.
The company’s management eliminated the main cost
drivers of conventional circuses: the animals and the stars.
They incorporated elements from opera, ballet and
concerts.
The result was a totally new entertainment concept
targeting former non-customers: adults happy to pay for
good entertainment.

31. Nintendo
The blue ocean strategy method has been implemented for
many years with the systematic development of innovations
such as nintendo DS or nintendo wii.
With nintendo wii they departed from a red ocean
dominated by sony’s playstation and microsoft’s xbox by
creating a totally new video game concept.
On one hand the wii created new benefits, such as
innovative, intuitive control with movement sensors.
On the other hand it generated massive cost reductions
eliminating high end graphics and CPU power.
32. Thus nintendo was able to sell the wii at a price that
appealed to the mass public.
This new recipe for success made the wii extremely popular
and accessible for a new, unconventional target group,
ranging from women to senior citizens.
