After reading Blue Ocean Strategy you will never see your competition in the same light. Kim and Mauborgne present a compelling case for pursuing strategy with a creative, not combative approach. Their emphasis on value innovation and stakeholder engagement alone makes this book a must read for both executives and students of business.

This is an extremely valuable book to read. It examines the experience of companies in areas as diverse as watches, wine, cement, computers, automobiles, and even the circus to shed new light on the development of future strategies.
Nicolas G. Hayek, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Swatch Group.
I recommend Blue Ocean Strategy to any executive in the private or public sector. It shows how to break from the status quo, create a winning future strategy, and execute this fast at low cost. As much a practical guide as an eye-opener.
