Tired of competition? Tired of swimming upstream with the other salmon? You are operating in a red ocean and your success is hindered! Authors Kim and Mauborgne discovered if you can make yourself different and stand out from the crowd, you are then operating in a blue ocean and have no competition. How do you do this? The book outlines the strategies and tactics for achieving blue ocean status. (Their sequel, called Blue Ocean Shift Beyond Competing, gives the successes of companies that followed their ideas and are now operating in a blue ocean!)
