Can a Blue Ocean Eventually Turn Into a Red Ocean?

	          		When a company creates a blue ocean by foreseeing an opportunity, there is always a chance of other companies entering the same segment by sensing the opportunity already created. Thus, can we say that a BOS eventually changes into a ROS?

				                Blue Ocean Turning into a Red Ocean

													I believe that Blue Ocean is a strategy, and therefore, businesses should try to protect their blue ocean in order to keep uncontested regions - just like what Microsoft did.

When a business looses its uniqueness and USP then indeed it's blue ocean turns to red.
