Blue ocean strategy is a powerful strategy for marketing and business that helps you differentiate your business from other businesses by creating a separate market and capturing new demand for your product and services. This strategy is useful, and top companies, such as Apple, Google, and Netflix, use it to establish their prominent brand.
When we talk about the blue ocean, we have to talk about the red ocean because the concept of the blue ocean comes to cover the red ocean. The Red Ocean is a crowded market space where companies fight each other for the market's existing demand. On the other hand, the blue ocean creates new market space that creates a new demand. With innovation and transformation, Blue Ocean offers full of prosperity and business success.
What is the Blue Ocean Strategy?
The Blue Ocean Strategy, introduced by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne challenge conventional thinking and invites businesses to sail beyond the red oceans of fierce rivalry. It is a strategic framework that challenges conventional thinking about competition. While competition is crucial for business growth and improvement, innovation and creativity are also essential. With proper innovation, competition became less critical and helped businesses create new demand in a new market space. Let's discover how red ocean and blue ocean works:
Red Oceans: These represent existing industries where companies fiercely compete for market share. Think of smartphones, soft drinks, or airlines. In red oceans, differentiation is minimal, and price wars prevail.
Blue Oceans: These are market spaces that don't exist yet—the unknown. Here, companies create new demand rather than fight over existing customers. Blue oceans are devoid of direct competitors, allowing for innovation and growth.
STANDOUT STYLE
Diversification: Google started as a search engine but expanded into a vast ecosystem. Gmail, Google Maps, Android OS, and YouTube—all part of Google's blue ocean—created new demand.
Quality and Simplicity: By eliminating paid search listings (unlike Yahoo), reducing ad clutter, and focusing on search quality, Google set a new standard. Android's open-source approach further expanded its blue ocean.
The Four-Action Framework of the Blue Ocean Strategy
Eliminate, Reduce, Raise, and Create. This framework provides a practical approach to creating blue oceans. Let's break down the four essential actions:
Eliminate: Identify factors that can be eliminated without sacrificing value. For instance, Cirque du Soleil eliminated animal acts from the traditional circus, focusing on artistic performances instead.
Reduce: Reduce certain features or services to simplify the offering. Southwest Airlines cut frills and focused on low-cost, no-frills travel.
Raise: Enhance elements that create value for customers. Apple elevated design aesthetics, user experience, and ecosystem integration.
Create: Innovate by introducing entirely new elements. Netflix disrupted the video rental market by creating a streaming service with an extensive library.
Apple
Ecosystem Synergy: Apple's blue ocean success lies in its seamless ecosystem integration. By combining iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, iTunes, and the App Store, Apple created a loyal customer base. Users willingly pay a premium for the holistic experience.
Elimination and Raising the Bar: Apple eliminated physical keyboards (iPhone), reduced complexity (user-friendly interfaces), and raised design standards. The result? A blue ocean where differentiation and user satisfaction thrive.
Disruption and Convenience
Streaming Innovation
Netflix disrupted the video rental industry by eliminating late fees and physical stores. Returning DVDs became hassle-free.
By raising the bar with streaming technology and creating original content (like "Stranger Things"), Netflix captured a global audience. Its blue ocean was vast, leaving competitors struggling to catch up.
Our vision is to become a beloved and respected role model, following the principles of Blue Ocean Strategy, by creating unique, uncontested market spaces that prioritize community, sustainability, and quality. We aspire to set new standards that resonate deeply with society, breaking away from traditional competition to pioneer a business model that blends purpose with profitability. In doing so, we aim to earn the admiration and trust of the communities we serve, leaving a lasting impact on the world.
