Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim & Renée Mauborgne
Blue Ocean Strategy teaches businesses how to break out of saturated, competitive markets ("red oceans") by creating uncontested market space ("blue oceans")—where competition becomes irrelevant.

Core Concepts:

• Value Innovation: Focus on simultaneously increasing value for customers while reducing costs.

• Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create Grid: Rethink industry norms—what to eliminate, reduce, raise, or create.

• Don't Compete—Make Competition Irrelevant: Instead of fighting for market share, create new demand.

• Strategic Canvas: Map the current market landscape and identify gaps to innovate.

• Reconstructionist View: Markets can be reshaped; they are not fixed.

The book is packed with real-world case studies (like Cirque du Soleil and Apple) and strategic tools to help entrepreneurs and leaders break free from cutthroat competition and unlock new growth.
