"Kim and Mauborgne have followed one blockbuster book with another. BLUE OCEAN SHIFT takes the groundbreaking principles of their original work and offers a smart, systematic plan to help any organization move from competing in existing markets to creating new markets altogether. You needn't be an entrepreneur or techie to take advantage of these insights. You just have to be willing to challenge the assumptions of your industry, ask fresh questions, and--get this--embrace your humanness."—Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

"BLUE OCEAN SHIFT is great: Practical, useful, real-world."—Inc.

"An exciting new book that synthesizes their experience in assisting with the implementation of Blue Ocean strategy....BLUE OCEAN SHIFT provides us with a comprehensive guide to enable any organization with the right mindset to launch and implement a Blue Ocean initiative."—Forbes

"The challenge of any business is to grow in markets that are crowded and competitive, and to do it in a way that is intelligent, effective, and humane. In BLUE OCEAN SHIFT, you will find all of that and more as Kim and Mauborgne guide you on a journey that will open your eyes to the untapped growth opportunities in your business, whether you are a startup, small business, or Fortune 500 company."
—Ram Charan, CEO and board advisor, New York Times bestselling author of Execution

"[A] stirring business primer...[BLUE OCEAN SHIFT] includes powerful real-life examples....This invaluable guide will be empowering to business-minded readers."—Publishers Weekly

Starred Review: "While [Blue Ocean Strategy] helped to identify new avenues for strategic success, it fell short on providing the actual steps needed to jump from a crowded marketplace into the fabled blue ocean of the title. [BLUE OCEAN SHIFT], however, provides a clear process for business identifying opportunities and developing plans for change...This tide provides a course of action for readers of the authors' previous books and should find a large readership among all organizational levels. Highly recommended."
—Library Journal

"BLUE OCEAN SHIFTproves to be worth the wait. It is a practical, well-written guide to finding and exploiting blue ocean markets, informed by the experiences of companies and other organizations that have chosen to seek them out rather than compete toe-to-toe in established markets."—Strategy + Business
