Today, companies face fierce competition in a cut-throat business environment in order to grow profitably, gain competitive advantage and increase market share. This brutal competition takes place in a red and bloody ocean where profitability is extremely low and enterprises worry about the future. With their Blue Ocean Strategy created as a result of long term research on 150 strategic moves spanning 30 industries, Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, lecturers at the international business school INSEAD, set forth a new method for companies to have permanent success and high profitability: Do not focus on winning the competition. Focus on making the competition irrelevant by creating a leap in value for both the company and its customers. As a result of this process of value innovation you will have an ocean where you make the rules. A high and sustainable level of profitability will be waiting for you in this blue ocean. In the process of identifying new potential fields of operations, Akfen Holding has focused on the uncontested markets and thus minimized risk while creating demand and opportunity to grow profitably. Akfen Holding: Red Fish in the Blue Ocean… At Akfen Holding we believe that a sustainable future and consistent high profitability is only achievable if you are the one who makes the rules. This is only possible by creating your own blue ocean.
