三民網路書店本書提出的是「不靠競爭而取勝」（Winning by Not Competing）的全新策略思維。自工業革命以來，企業競爭激烈並競相追求獲利永續成長，公司競爭以搶占優勢，市占率，力求差異化。然而這些競爭策略絕非未來創造獲利成長的正途。
本書挑戰你認知中的所有策略模式，W。 Chan Kim與Ren?e Mauborgne強調，割喉競爭的唯一下場，就是血染成河（紅海），不分敵我都得承受獲利縮減的後果。本書依據百年來30家企業的150項策略變遷研究，作者認為，真正持久的勝利不在競爭求勝，而是創造「藍海」（blue oceans）--嶄新未開發的市場空間，逐步發展成熟。作者稱這種策略為「價值創新」（value innovation）--創造重大價值，讓對手相形見絀，無法趕上。
Blue Ocean Strategy 以有條不紊的方式，點出競爭何以與事無補；至於如何打造並掌握blue oceans，本書也提出所有企業都適用的原則及方法。本書顛覆傳統策略思維，為掌握未來開拓一條大膽全新的路徑。

Winning by Not Competing: A Fresh Approach to Strategy
Since the dawn of the industrial age, companies have engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation. Yet these hallmarks of competitive strategy are not the way to create profitable growth in the future.
In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, W. Chan Kim and Ren?e Mauborgne argue that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than a hundred years and thirty industries, the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from creating "blue oceans": untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. Such strategic moves-which the authors call "value innovation"- create powerful leaps in value that often render rivals obsolete for more than a decade.
Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any company can use to create and capture blue oceans. A landmark work that upends traditional thinking about strategy, this book charts a bold new path to winning the future.
