A Blue Ocean Strategy was introduced by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne in 2005 and means that the companies should create the new market places that “make the competition irrelevant” (Kim & Mauborgne, 2005, p.4). In more detail, the companies usually compete within the boundaries of the market for the larger share of the existing demand. When there are too many competitors, it is much more difficult for a company to achieve its business objectives. Therefore the companies should take another approach that would be targeted at creating the demand and widening the existing markets by creating “the blue ...

Henry Ford brilliantly used the Blue Ocean Strategy. He clearly saw that the automobile market was narrow, as the target audience consisted of rich citizens only. Over 500 companies were producing highly customized and costly product. The competition was furious and the target audience – very limited. The whole industry was not designed for the mass market. Therefore, when Ford realized his new idea of producing inexpensive and durable cars, he really made a breakthrough in the industry. By reengineering the production processes, he managed to manufacture affordable standardized cars thus creating a new market. In such a way he ...

Introduction

The Deep Water Horizon is one of the most compelling disasters that have ever been recorded in the US in so far as oil spills and fire tragedies are concerned.

The spill majorly affected the ocean to the extent that the aqua system was put in jeopardy because of the oil infiltration. This team compromising of Dustin, Adrianna, Daniel and Mohammed seeks to analyze the problem and its implications not ...

Introduction

Netflix is considered one of the most successful e-commerce ventures.

By targeting the growing DVD market which was small then but grew rapidly to cover 37 per cent of households in 2002, it avoided competition with Blockbuster and simultaneously cut costs, ...

There were no companies solely dedicated to the home delivery of DVD’s in the marketplace and Hastings realized that he could create a customer base who wanted these services. Hastings strategy was simple; customers were able to rent a certain number of ...

Abstract.

The global sea levels have been on a slow but steady rise over the last two centuries. Global temperatures have been blamed for the rise in global sea levels with research showing that heat expands the volume of water in the sea and melts ice glaciers. The rise in sea level, if not curbed, could have diverse effects especially in regions with a unique topography such as Australia. Encroachment of dry land by salty sea water could cause pollution to seep into fresh water sources as well as render previously lucrative agricultural lands as barren. The issue of the steady rise ...

Abstract

The issue of free will (freedom) versus determination has been around for a long time. It has continued to be a puzzle for philosophers ever since. Philosophers face such trouble with the issue of freedom versus determination because without freedom morality would be unheard of among the humankind; and such there would be no good, no wrong, or evil. All of humankind’s behavior would be priory determined, and; therefore, man would be left with no choice or creativity (Fischer 1994).
