Unlock New Market Spaces and Make Competition Irrelevant

Blue Ocean Strategy

RED OCEAN VS BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY

Chan Kim & Renée Mauborgne coined the terms red and blue oceans to denote the market universe.

Red oceans

Red oceans are all the industries in existence today – the known market space, where industry boundaries are defined and companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of the existing market. Cutthroat competition turns the ocean bloody red. Hence, the term ‘red’ oceans.

Blue oceans

Blue oceans denote all the industries not in existence today – the unknown market space, unexplored and untainted by competition. Like the ‘blue’ ocean, it is vast, deep and powerful – in terms of opportunity and profitable growth.
