The best of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne’s articles on blue ocean strategy, all in one place. The seminal book Blue Ocean Strategy has sold over 4 million copies globally and is in print in 49 languages. But much of W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne’s work on creating new market spaces was originally published in the pages of Harvard Business Review. This book brings the best of those articles together all in one place. Piece by piece, these articles explain the process of creating “blue oceans”––uncontested market spaces, untainted by competition. Kim and Mauborgne introduce tools for exploring and exploiting these markets, such as the Value Curve, the Strategy Canvas, the Price Corridor of the Mass, and the Business Model Guide—tools that have come to make up the blue ocean strategy framework. This collection also features the authors’ latest Harvard Business Review article, “Red Ocean Traps.” Whether or not you’re familiar with blue ocean strategy, this book will give you a new perspective on this important framework—and help you implement it in your organization. This volume includes the articles “Value Innovation: The Strategic Logic of High Growth,” “Fair Process: Managing in the Knowledge Economy,” “Creating New Maket Space,” “Knowing a Winning Business Idea When You See One,” “Charting Your Company’s Future,” “Tipping Point Leadership,” “Blue Ocean Strategy,” “How Strategy Shapes Structure,” “Blue Ocean Leadership,” and “Red Ocean Traps: The Mental Models That Undermine Market-Creating Strategies.”

Ten years ago, world-renowned professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne broke ground by introducing "blue ocean strategy," a new model for discovering uncontested markets that are ripe for growth. In this bound version of their bestselling Harvard Business Review classic article, they apply their concepts and tools to what is perhaps the greatest challenge of leadership: closing the gulf between the potential and the realized talent and energy of employees. Research indicates that this gulf is vast: According to Gallup, 70% of workers are disengaged from their jobs. If companies could find a way to convert them into engaged employees, the results could be transformative. The trouble is, managers lack a clear understanding of what changes they could make to bring out the best in everyone. In this article, Kim and Mauborgne offer a solution to that problem: a systematic approach to uncovering, at each level of the organization, which leadership acts and activities will inspire employees to give their all, and a process for getting managers throughout the company to start doing them. Blue ocean leadership works because the managers'' "customers"--that is, the people managers oversee and report to--are involved in identifying what''s effective and what isn''t. Moreover, the approach doesn''t require leaders to alter who they are, just to undertake a different set of tasks. And that kind of change is much easier to implement and track than changes to values and mind-sets. The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world--and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

As established markets become less profitable, companies increasingly need to find ways to create and capture new markets. Despite much investment and commitment, most firms struggle to do this. What, exactly, is getting in their way? World-renowned professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, the authors of the best-selling book Blue Ocean Strategy have spent over a decade exploring that question. They have seen that the trouble lies in managers'' mental models--ingrained assumptions and theories about the way the world works. Though these models may work perfectly well in mature markets, they undermine executives'' attempts to discover uncontested new spaces with ample potential (blue oceans) and keep companies firmly anchored in existing spaces where competition is bloody (red oceans). In this bound version of their bestselling Harvard Business Review classic article, they describe how to break free of these red ocean traps. To do that, managers need to: (1) Focus on attracting new customers, not pleasing current customers; (2) Worry less about segmentation and more about what different segments have in common; (3) Understand that market creation is not synonymous with either technological innovation or creative destruction; and (3) Stop focusing on premium versus low-cost strategies. The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world--and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

"Blue Ocean Strategy" highlights the distinct differences between market-competing (red ocean) and market-creating (blue ocean) strategy and what it takes to create the new markets of tomorrow. In "Red Ocean Traps," Kim and Mauborgne reveal the faulty assumptions that keep managers tethered to existing overcrowded markets (red oceans). "Blue Ocean Leadership" applies the concepts and analytic frameworks of blue ocean strategy to an innovative leadership approach that releases employees'' untapped talent and energy while conserving their most precious resource--time. This collection is the ideal start, or refresher, for creating more blue oceans.

DEN UDVIDEDE UDGAVE AF DEN INTERNATIONALE BESTSELLER Bogen er blevet en global bestseller, som organisationer og industrier over hele verden har taget til sig. Den udfordrer alle de gængse opfattelser af, hvad der kræves for at opnå strategisk succes. Forfatterne har nu opdateret Blue Ocean Strategy med helt nyt indhold. Det er bogens udgangspunkt, at knivskarp konkurrence ikke resulterer i andet end et blodigt rødt ocean, hvor konkurrenterne slås om en stadig mindre avance. På basis af et studie af 150 strategiske træk (som er hentet fra over 30 industrier gennem mere end 100 år) hævder forfatterne, at varig succes ikke opnås ved at kæmpe mod konkurrenterne, men ved at skabe "blå oceaner" – uudnyttede nye markedsområder, der er parat til vækst. Blue Ocean Strategy indeholder en systematisk metode til at gøre konkurrenterne irrelevante og beskriver nogle principper og værktøjer, alle organisationer kan bruge til at skabe og fastholde deres egne blå oceaner. Denne udvidede udgave indeholder: · Et nyt forord af forfatterne: Hjælp! Mit ocean er ved at blive rødt. · Opdateringer af alle bogens cases og eksempler, med opsamlende historier helt op til i dag. · To nye kapitler og et udvidet tredje kapitel – om tilpasning, fornyelse og fælder forbundet med de røde oceaner – der behandler de mest presserende spørgsmål fra læserne gennem de sidste ti år. Denne bestseller er et banebrydende værk, der vender op og ned på den traditionelle tankegang knyttet til strategi. Den anviser en helt ny vej til fremtidig succes. Betragt den som din guide til at skabe et konkurrencefrit markedsområde – og til at gøre konkurrenterne irrelevante.

Este libro, éxito de ventas a nivel mundial, desafía todo lo que creías saber sobre los requisitos imprescindibles para tener éxito en tus negocios. Actualizado con nuevo contenido, La estrategia del océano azul sostiene que la competencia encarnizada queda reducida a un océano ensangrentado de rivales que luchan por unos beneficios cada vez más pequeños. Basado en un estudio de 150 estrategias (que cubre más de 100 años a través de 30 sectores empresariales), los autores muestran que el éxito duradero no tiene su origen en las batallas libradas con los competidores sino en la creación de "océanos azules" -nuevos espacios de mercado sin explotar que están maduros para el crecimiento.

NEBOJUJTE S KONKURENTY – VYŘAĎTE JE ZE HRY Ve snaze o dosažení udržitelného a ziskového růstu se firmy tradičně pouštějí do neúprosných konkurenčních střetů – do přímé konfrontace s konkurenty. Bojují o dosažení konkurenční výhody, svádějí bitvy o tržní podíl, usilují o to, aby vynikly, aby se něčím odlišily od svých konkurentů. Výsledkem takového přístupu jsou v dnešních podmínkách, kdy jednotlivá odvětví jsou doslova přeplněna konkurenty a kdy jejich nabídka vysoko převyšuje poptávku, „rudé oceány“, v jejich krvavých vodách mezi sebou tito soupeři zápasí o neustále se zmenšující ziskový potenciál. Kniha W. Chana Kima a Renée Mauborgneové vystavuje pochybám vše, co bylo až dosud považováno za předpoklad strategického úspěchu. Tvrdí, že ačkoli většina firem se vrhá do „rudých oceánů“ líté konkurence, pravděpodobnost, že by jim taková strategie mohla zajistit budoucí ziskový růst, je dnes stále menší a menší. Ačkoli autoři vycházejí z důkladného studia více než 150 „strategických tahů“, k nimž došlo během více než sta let ve třiceti odvětvích. Dokazují, že základem úspěchu vůdčích firem zítřka nebudou vítězné střety s konkurenty, ale vytváření „modrých oceánů“ svrchovaného tržního prostoru zralého pro další růst. Takové strategické tahy – autoři je označují jako „hodnotové inovace“ – vytvářejí skokové přírůstky jak pro firmu, tak pro její zákazníky, vyřazují konkurenty ze hry a podněcují a uvolňují novou poptávku. Kniha Strategie modrého oceánu přináší systematický přístup, jenž umožňuje minimalizovat význam konkurenčních firem a odkázat je do „postavení mimo hru“. V knize, která od základu mění tradiční pohled na strategii, autoři předkládají prověřené systémové rámce, analytické nástroje a principy umožňující úspěšné zformulování a realizaci strategií modrého oceánu – úspěšné vytváření a využívání „modrých oceánů“ příležitostí. Kniha W. Chana Kima a Renée Mauborgneové, která fakticky převrací tradiční myšlenkové pojetí strategie, tak načrtává spolehlivou mapu „nové smělé cesty k budoucím podnikatelským vítězstvím“. Druhé aktualizované a rozšířené vydání obsahuje nový úvod autorů, dvě nové kapitoly a další z nich jsou rozšířeny o nové poznatky. Nové kapitoly jsou obohaceny například o problematiku sladění systému aktivit organizace tak, aby v praxi vznikla udržitelná strategie modrého oceánu, o to, jak v průběhu času obnovovat modré oceány, protože po určité době firmy modrý oceán napodobí a udělají z něj oceán rudý, a v neposlední řadě o deset nejobvyklejších pastí rudého oceánu, které drží firmy v rudých vodách, i když chtějí plout směrem k modré hladině. W. Chan Kim a Renée Mauborgne jsou profesory strategie a managementu na INSEAD, prestižním institutu ve Fontainebleau nedaleko Paříže. Oba autoři se rovněž podílejí na jeho řízení. Na seznamu 50 největších myslitelů World ́s Top Management Gurus se umístili na druhém místě. Více o strategii modrého oceánu na www.blueoceanstrategy.com nebo na Twitter @BlueOceanStrtgy.

Océano Azul, océano rojo de W. Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne es un volumen de la colección «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, que reúne las ideas esenciales para el profesional y la empresa de hoy por los autores de referencia. --Edición en colaboración con Harvard Business Review-- Solo un 30 por ciento de los empleados aplican activamente su talento y energía para hacer avanzar a sus organizaciones. El 50 por ciento se limita a pasar el tiempo, mientras que el 20 por ciento restante manifiesta su descontento de maneras contraproducentes. Y una de las principales causas de la falta de compromiso es un mal liderazgo. W. Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne se inspiran en su célebre estrategia del «Océano Azul» y la aplican para ayudar a los líderes a liberar de manera rápida y económica el talento y la energía no explotados en sus organizaciones. Y ante la necesidad de crear nuevos mercados para obtener un triunfo a largo plazo, abordan los modelos mentales -que tienen su origen en suposiciones sobre el marketing, la innovación tecnológica, la disrupción creativa o las estrategias competitivas- que anclan a los directivos en «Océanos Rojos», espacios abarrotados en los que las empresas libran una batalla encarnizada por su cuota de mercado. Los «Imprescindibles» de Conecta, en colaboración con Harvard Business Review, permiten acceder a las grandes ideas de los autores de referencia que inspiran a directivos y profesionales. Este volumen reúne los textos «El liderazgo Océano Azul» y «Trampas del Océano Rojo» de W. Chan Kim y RenéeMauborgne, profesores de INSEAD y autores de La estrategia del Océano Azul.

Chan Kim e Renée Mauborgne, o resultado de uma concorrência acirrada nada mais é que um oceano vermelho sangrento, repleto de rivais que lutam entre si por uma parcela de lucros cada vez menor. Com base em um estudo de 150 movimentos estratégicos (que abrangem mais de 100 anos e 30 setores), os autores afirmam que o êxito duradouro não decorre da disputa feroz entre concorrentes, mas da criação de “oceanos azuis” – novos e intocados espaços de mercado prontos para o crescimento. Eles apresentam ainda uma abordagem sistemática para tornar a concorrência irrelevante e descrevem os princípios e ferramentas que qualquer organização pode utilizar para criar e desbravar seus próprios oceanos azuis. Esta edição ampliada inclui um novo prefácio dos autores, casos de estudo e exemplos atualizados, dois capítulos novos e um terceiro estendido, que aborda as questões mais prementes levantadas pelos leitores nos últimos 10 anos.

La Estrategia del Océano Azul, un libro trascendental, ha vendido más de 3,6 millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo y ha sido traducido a 44 idiomas. Gran parte del trabajo de W. Chan Kim y Renée Mauborgne sobre la creación de nuevos espacios de mercado se publicó originalmente en forma de artículos en las páginas de la Harvard Business Review.

Au terme de quinze années de recherche dans trente secteurs d’activité différents, W. Chan Kim et Renée Mauborgne ont identifié ce qu’ils nomment aujourd’hui la Stratégie Océan Bleu. Pour générer une croissance rentable, l’entreprise qui se trouve dans un environnement concurrentiel saturé, où les produits se ressemblent de plus en plus et où la guerre des prix fait rage, doit s’affranchir des contraintes de son marché. Et pour sortir de l’« océan rouge » de la concurrence, elle va devoir effectuer un saut de valeur, véritable déplacement stratégique qui aboutira à la création d’un espace de marché entièrement nouveau un océan bleu. Apple, The Body Shop, le Cirque du Soleil, eBay et Swatch ont connu une réussite éclatante parce qu’elles ont su à partir de leur espace de marché connu, ouvrir et conquérir des espaces stratégiques encore vierges et créer une demande entièrement nouvelle. Dans cet ouvrage, W. Chan Kim et Renée Mauborgne ont modélisé ces remarquables mouvements stratégiques en les traduisant en outils concrets. Ils proposent ainsi une méthodologie. Grâce au respect des principes régissant la formulation d’une Stratégie Océan Bleu et à l’utilisation des outils analytiques qu’ils mettent en avant, l’entreprise qu’elle soit petite ou grande publique ou privée, nouvel entrant ou leader historique, sera à même de modifier les bases de son secteur ou de son marché, de manière proactive et donc de créer son propre espace stratégique.

Que vous soyez une start-up en mal de trésorerie, une association ou une grande entreprise engoncée dans la bureaucratie, Cap sur l''Océan Bleu vous montrera comment échapper à l''hyper concurrence des océans rouges pour atteindre les marchés vierges et la croissance exponentielle des océans bleus. En adoptant la théorie océan bleu, de nombreux dirigeants et managers du monde entier se sont aperçus qu''ils étaient coincés dans un océan rouge. Ils avaient besoin de mesures concrètes et d''un processus systématique qui leur permettraient de créer et de capturer leur océan bleu. Avec Cap sur l''Océan Bleu, W. Chan Kim et Renée Mauborgne relèvent ce nouveau défi en analysant et en comparant les succès et les échecs de projets océan bleu du monde entier issus du mouvement qu''ils ont initié il y a près de trente ans. Dans différents secteurs - B2C, B2B, secteur public, secteur sans but lucratif, administration... - ils décrivent le processus de création de nouveau marché et de croissance qui libère autant la créativité que la confiance en soi. Cap sur l''Océan Bleu regorge d''exemples inspirants et concrets sur la façon dont plusieurs dirigeants ont réussi à passer d''un océan rouge à un océan bleu en suivant le processus et en appliquant les outils décrits. Ce livre vous montre, étape par étape, comment créer de la confiance et engendrer une nouvelle croissance. Vous y apprendrez : Pourquoi se concentrer uniquement sur la concurrence vous prive d''énormes opportunités de croissance et comment élargir votre réflexion sur la stratégie au-delà de la concurrence ; Pourquoi il est limité de penser que la création destructive et la disruption sont les seules sources d''innovation et comment vous pouvez vous développer à travers la création non-disruptive ; Comment n''importe qui - et pas seulement les entrepreneurs - dans n''importe quelle organisation peut passer d''un océan rouge à un océan bleu grâce au processus systématique en cinq étapes de Cap sur l''Océan Bleu ; Pourquoi la confiance en soi est essentielle pour créer et exécuter votre stratégie de croissance et comment la construire ; Pourquoi vous ne devriez pas construire votre stratégie de croissance en vous basant sur les conditions existantes de votre industrie et comment vous pouvez les façonner en votre faveur.
