Comment on Revisiting Blue Ocean Strategy – still a fad by Jonas Lind

Thanks for commenting and sorry for the late response. Blue Ocean Strategy is a process method for identifying viable business models and strategies. As such it will most likely produce a working strategy. But so will many other methods from the management consultants’ toolbox.

In my view, Blue Ocean is a structured compilation of established common sense knowledge in the industry. It does not add a new theoretical concept supported by systematic empirical evidence. (For example “Disruptive Innovation” or “Crossing the Chasm”.) A series of confirmatory case studies in the new book does not change that.

My main objection is the hype and hyperbole surrounding the term. The authors have not made any breakthrough substantial insight to management thinking, even though most alleged management gurus are incredibly good at self promotion.

Jonas,
I think your blog post highlights an ignorance shared by many regarding the Blue Ocean Strategy principles and methodology. Firstly, your claims regarding retrofitting of case studies into blue ocean strategy is correct; this is because the book was based on the exhaustive study of 150 strategic moves from which the principles and methodology were formed.

However, since the writing of the book in 2005 many organisations have very successfully applied blue ocean strategy including Nintendo Wii, Tune Hotels Group, Malaysian & Danish Governments etc.

A new book by authors, Profs W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne is due to be released later this year and will feature many successful innovations created through companies applying blue ocean principles, tools and/or methodology.

Of course the authors were unable to release many case studies earlier due to non-disclosure requirements of most companies regarding their strategic approach.

Comment on Flawed design in Sony Ericsson’s Satio camera phone by Gavin

I think the whole point of this article is flawed, not the design of the Satio. To compare a camera phone with a professional DSLR is futile, nobody would expect a cell phone to compete. The fact of the matter is that the Satio’s camera, especially with the xenon flash, takes better photos than a large number of budget compact cameras and probably all camera phones. As a matter of fact on average my Satio takes better outdoor daytime photos than my wife’s Nikon Coolpix S230 (not sure if there is something wrong with the thing but it struggles to focus regardless of light).
