A BOS is Creating a New Mental Category

Blue ocean strategies are basically about creating a new mental category or a frame of reference. For example, Red Bull created a new category called "energy drinks" within the existing "beverage" category. Hence, Blue Ocean strategies are played out in the minds of consumers rather than in physical markets.

Creating a New Dimension in Mind of Entrepreneurs

Hello all, I think the Blue Ocean strategy helps to create new dimension in mind of entrepreneurs. Human nature is very versatile and always wants a new taste. In such a competitive world it is wise to adopt Blue Ocean strategy rather then a red ocean strategy. Of course, there should not be any type of discomfort or deception in the name of new changes.
