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
