63 Quick Start

64 Blue Ocean Strategy Red Oceans v/s Blue Oceans Red Oceans are all the industries in existence today ~ known market space (eg. Traditional universities) Blue Oceans are all the industries not in existence today ~ unknown market space ~ demand is created rather than fought over A tongue-in-cheek example: One good way to think out of the box and apply the Blue Ocean Strategy is to start early-day programs for primary students. Universities can partner primary schools to introduce university subjects in a simplified manner this means you catch them young and instil your brand name in them.

65 Blue Ocean Strategy in practice

66 Blue Ocean Strategy in practice Pro s Equip children at a young age with money-making and management skills Instead of telling children to save, they are taught how to make a fortune at a very young age Teaches children to be thrifty Con s Very high cost of enrolling so only the elite can join Children may become obsessed with money from a very young age
