  1. BOS: Reconstruct Market Boundaries Bailey Anderson, Angela Chavez, Tucker DeVinny

  2. Six Path Framework • 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

  3. Path 1: Alternative Industries • Blue ocean strategy focuses on looking at alternative industries as opposed to just rivals within the current industry • American airlines can capitalize on this strategy by scoping out other modes or transportations such as charter bus transportation and trains.

  4. Path 2: Strategic Groups in Industry • Strategic groups are defined as a cluster of companies in a specific industry who have a similar strategy to follow. • Strategic groups can be formed based on levels of price and performance (Luxury brands competing while economic brands compete) • American Airlines competes with Delta, JetBlue, and Southwest at a similar price range. • Ultra-Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) like Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier compete with each other at a much lower price point.

  5. Path 3: The Chain of Buyers • The Chain of Buyers • Purchasers: Office Equipment Industry • Users: Clothing Industry • Influencers: Pharmaceutical Industry • Target different customer segments • Large vs. Small

  6. Path 4: Complementary Product and Service Offerings • Untapped value is hidden in complimentary products and services • Look at the process before, during, and after the product is used • Ex: A movie theater with a babysitting service

  7. Path 5: Functional and Emotional Appeal to Buyers • Functional Appeal • Compete principally on price and function largely on calculations of utility • Emotional Appeal • Compete largely on feelings • When companies challenge their functional-emotional orientation, they often find new market space • Examples: QB (Quick Beauty) House, Cemex

  8. Path 6: Time  • Key insights to blue ocean strategies arise from how the trend will change value to customers and impact the company's business model • Three critical principles to assessing trends • Trends must be decisive to your business • They must be irreversible  • They must have a clear trajectory • Example: iTunes
