In 2005, world-renowned professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne changed the international business landscape forever with their 100+ week international bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy, which would go on to sell more than 3.6 million copies, be translated into 44 different languages, and start a dynamic movement. Now, after another decade of extensive research, Kim and Mauborgne are ready to change the course of the conversation once again.
As leaders and managers around the world adopted their theory and began to radically rethink their business strategies, many found that they were stuck in a red ocean. They were unsure of how to start the process of moving to blue waters, which would often require getting the members of their team to buy into a concept that directly conflicted with the long-established rules of their industries. Entrepreneurs were looking for concrete steps and a systematic process they could follow to create and capture blue oceans at minimal risk.
In Blue Ocean Shift Kim and Mauborgne meet this new challenge head-on by analyzing and comparing the successes and failures of blue ocean projects across the globe that have sprung out of the movement they began nearly 30 years ago. In a variety of sectors from business-to-customer and business-to-business, to public, nonprofit, and governments, Kim and Mauborgne developed a concise understanding of the process of new market creation and growth that unlocks people's creativity as much as their confidence to act.
