Session title : Blue Ocean Strategy
Session Overview :
Blue oceans strategy is the approach that suggests a company is better off searching for ways to play in uncontested market places instead of engaging with competition in existing marketing spaces. It is the idea of trying to find market spaces that are free of competitors by creating and capturing new demand, making the competition irrelevant. An example of a blue ocean strategy is Netflix. Netflix created uncontested marketing space by selling TV shows over the internet which no one else was currently doing. By doing this they made the competition irrelevant, creating and capture new demand for a service not currently available on the market. By doing this they were able to break the value-cost trade off by providing better value than cable TV (because you could watch any show you wanted at any time, without commercials) at a lower cost than cable TV. By entering a blue ocean they were able to pursue low cost and differentiation leadership compared to the alternatives to their product.
