Summary

In this perennial best seller, embraced by organizations and industries worldwide, globally preeminent management thinkers W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne challenge everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success. Recognized as one of the most iconic and impactful strategy books ever written, Blue Ocean Strategy, now updated with fresh content from the authors, argues that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves (spanning more than 100 years across 30 industries), the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors but from creating "blue oceans" - untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. 

Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any organization can use to create and capture their own blue oceans. This expanded edition includes: a new preface by the authors: "Help! My Ocean Is Turning Red"; updates on all cases and examples in the book; and two new chapters and an expanded third one - "Alignment, Renewal, and Red Ocean Traps" - that address some of the most pressing questions listeners and readers have asked over the years. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Boring repetitive stories about other companies

All this audiobook seems to be is examples of other companies that have apparently “adopted a blue ocean strategy” when they were established and have been operating before this book came into existence.

Every single chapter is at least 80% details of what other companies have done. The authors have just found companies that fit their theories, and in this day and age the book comes across as dated.

Much better business books out there

Disappointed

It just didn't work for me. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks related to business, this in my top 5 of most unengaging. Far too dry in terms of writing and delivery for my taste
