For this critical analysis assignment, your group should select a current news article. The article should focus
on a firm that you believe follows (or followed) a “Blue Ocean Strategy”.
“Blue Ocean” strategy provides a different perspective on strategy than Porter’s traditional generic strategies.
This approach focuses on creating new market spaces, making the competition irrelevant, breaking the valuecost trade-off and aligning the firm’s activities to achieve both low cost and differentiation.
SIX WAYS TO CREATE A BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY
- Industry
- Strategic Group
- Buyer Group
- Scope of Product/Service Offering
- Functional-Emotional Orientation
- Time
For this assignment, you only need to analyze scope of product, Functional-Emotional Orientation and Time.
Identify why you believe your firm follows a Blue Ocean strategy? (The Strategy Canvass may help with this
analysis) What have they done to allow the firm to implement this strategy? Apply the “Eliminate-ReduceRaise-Create” framework. (please refer to the power point)
