  2. Trapped in a Red Ocean • Define their industry similarly and focus on being the best within it • Look at their industries through the lens of generally accepted strategic groups, and strive to stand out in the strategic group they play in • Focus on the same buyer group, be it the purchaser, the user, or the influencer

  3. Trapped in a Red Ocean cont. • Define the scope of the products and services offered by their industry similarly • Accept their industry’s functional or emotional orientation • Focus on the same point in time- and often on current competitive threats- in formulating strategy

  4. Breaking Out of the Red Ocean • Break out of the accepted boundaries that define how they compete • Look across the these boundaries • 6 pathways to open up blue oceans

  5. 6 Pathways to Blue Ocean • Look across alternative industries • Look across strategic groups within industries • Look across the chain of buyers • Look across complementary product and service offerings • Look across functional or emotional appeal to buyers • Look across time

  6. Path 1: Look Across Alternative Industries • Companies compete not only with its own industry but with other industries that produce alternatives • Every decision that buyers/consumer make unconsciously weighing alternatives • Sellers rarely think about how their customers make trade-offs across alternative industries

  7. Path 1: Look Across Alternative Industries • By focusing on the key factors that lead buyers to trade across alternative industries and eliminating or reducing everything else, you can create a blue ocean of new market space

  8. Look Across Strategic Groups Within Industries • Strategic Group: A group of companies within an industry that pursue a similar strategy • These groups are generally ranked in a hierarchical order by either their price or performance • Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar

  9. Curves • Outcompeted others in their strategic group • Took the best qualities from working out at home and going to the gym • Also made the service available at a lower cost to entice consumers • Profits have exceeded 1 Billion dollars

  10. Look Across the Chain of Buyers • Three different types of people in the chain • Purchaser • Buys products that will eventually be used by the final user. More concerned with cost • User • The final consumer actually using the product. More concerned with ease of use or value. • Influencer • Can sway a user one way or the other when it comes to choosing a product. Ex: Doctor

  11. Creating a Blue Ocean • Firm’s can create Blue Oceans by moving either up or down the chain • For a product that has been primarily focused on purchasers you can add new features to cater to the user • For a user focus you can take a more generalized approach and market your product in bulk to purchasers
