Blue Ocean Strategy: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make
Competition Irrelevant
by W. Chan Kim, Renée Mauborgne
Kim and Mauborgne's blue ocean metaphor elegantly summarizes their
vision of the kind of expanding, competitor-free markets that
innovative companies can navigate. Unlike "red oceans," which are
well explored and crowded with competitors, "blue oceans" represent
"untapped market space" and the "opportunity for highly profitable
growth."

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
by Jim Collins
Some years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company
become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins,
the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but
finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of
researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435
companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in
their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including
Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered
common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of
corporate success.'

Strategy
as Simple Rules (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition)
by Kathleen M. Eisenhardt, Donald Sull
In this article--the third in an HBR series by Kathleen Eisenhardt
and Donald Sull on strategy in the new economy--the authors ask,
what are the sources of competitive advantage in high-velocity
markets? The secret, they say, is strategy as simple rules. The
companies know that the greatest opportunities for competitive
advantage lie in market confusion, but they recognize the need for a
few crucial strategic processes and a few simple rules. In
traditional strategy, advantage comes from exploiting resources or
stable market positions. In strategy as simple rules, advantage
comes from successfully seizing fleeting opportunities. |
