Book Review: Blue Ocean Strategy

“To win in the future, companies must stop competing with each other. The only way to beat the competition is to stop TRYING to beat the competition.” 

Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim describes its contents as “how to create uncontested market space and make the competition irrelevant”. The entire point of the book is to not only describe why it’s so important to change your mindset from focusing on competitors to focusing on alternatives (aka not converting customers, but finding a way to serve non-customers), but it also shows you how to do it.
