How to make your blue ocean strategy:
Visualizing Strategy at
Corporate level (PMS Map)
A company’spioneers are
the businesses that offer
unprecedented
value.
Settlers will
not generally contribute much to a
company’s future growth. They
are stuck within the red ocean.
Reach beyond existing
demand (Principle 3)
• Ex: First Tier- Pret, the fast food chain of UK
• Ex: Second Tier:- JCDecaux of France dealing
in outdoor advertisement. How they used
Street furniture for advertisement
• Ex: Third Tier- Joint Strike Fighter programme
of US Navy, Marines and Airforce
Getting the Strategic Sequence
right (Principle 4)
