Conventional Logic Industry Assumption
Strategic Focus

Blue Ocean Logic

Industry conditions are Industry condition can given be shaped.
Build competitive Create a quantum leap advantages to beat the in buyer value to competition. dominate the market.

Customers

Retain and expand the customer base through further segmentation and customization. Think in terms of embracing customer differences.

Go for the mass of buyers and willingly let some existing customers go. Think in terms of embracing key customer value commonalities.

15

Conventional Logic Think in terms of a company?s existing assets and capabilities. Build on what it has. Think in terms of products/services offered by the industry. Seek to maximize the value of these offerings.

Blue Ocean Logic Think free from a company?s existing assets and capabilities. Ask, what if we start anew? Think in terms of buyers? solution even if that transcends the industry. Seek to solve buyers? major bottlenecks/chief compromises in using the products/services of the industry.
