2004 Blue ocean strategy

A business growth strategy published in 2004 that seeks to transcend the struggle between competing on price and competing on uniqueness, by achieving both at the same time.

Sailing from choppy red seas to a clear blue ocean, free of competition.

Blue Ocean Strategy seeks to answer the following questions:

Which of the factors that your industry takes for granted should be eliminated ?
Which factors should be reduced well below the industry's standard?
Which factors should be raised well above the industry's standard?
Which factors should be created that the industry has never offered?
