何謂紅海策略、藍海策略? 紅海策略的商場廝殺，就是深陷血流成河的紅海市場，不分敵我都得承受獲利縮減的後果。 真正持久的勝利，不在降價競爭求勝，而是創造「藍海」(blue ocean)－嶄新未開發的市場空間。 「藍海策略」旨在脫離血腥競爭的紅色海洋，創造沒有人與其競爭的市場空間，把競爭變成無關緊要。這種策略致力於增加需求，不再汲汲營營於瓜分不斷縮小的現有需求和衡量競爭對手。 《藍海策略》（Blue Ocean Strategy），作者是金偉燦（W. Chan Kim）與莫伯尼（Renee Mauborgne）兩位歐洲管理學院（INSEAD）的傑出學者。他們針對過去120多年來，30多種不同行業別採取的150多種策略行動（Strategic Move）進行分析，結果發現大多數企業以價格競爭為本位，這樣只會形成廝殺局面慘烈的紅色海洋，而紅色海洋是市場萎縮的頭號殺手。企業的永續成功，需要不斷以創新的精神加上有競爭性的成本概念來經營，才能成為藍海型的企業。 邁向藍海的六大途徑 一) 改造市場疆界 二) 專注於大局而非數字 三) 超越現有需求 四) 策略次序要正確
