Future Competitive Strategy

         Strategies to compete in a very strong competition can lead to "a sea of blood" for companies that compete or fight them. This strategy is called Bloody or Red Ocean Strategy. W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne claim that the Red Ocean Strategy is no more powerful way to create growth and profitability in the future. They both propose a new strategy called the Blue Ocean Strategy. The difference between Red OceanStrategy and Blue Ocean strategy, among others, in responding to the market, competition, demand, value and strategy.

        Red Ocean Strategy assumes that competition is to compete in existing market space, while the Blue Ocean Strategy considers that compete is to create a space that is not their market. A very large market like the "blue ocean". Therefore, very large market, companies can choose the market as he pleased. Red Ocean Strategy uses the concept to grow and benefit by beating competitors in the competition. Blue Ocean Strategy uses the concept of eliminating competition. Because competition is missing, the company only competing with itself. The company is bound to win the competition without any opponents.

        Red Ocean Strategy exploit existing demand in an all-out, while the Blue Ocean Strategy to create and capture new demand. Red Ocean Strategy won the advantage by creating value, then the Blue Ocean Strategy achieve excellence without having to create value. Red Ocean Strategy together with the system as a whole from the activities of companies by choosing a strategy of differentiation or overall cost leadership strategy (low cost strategy), while Blue Ocean Strategy together with the system as a whole from its activities in implementing the strategy of differentiation and overall cost leadership strategy together . Blue Ocean Strategy involves two aspects. First, how to find and develop the blue ocean. To find and develop the blue ocean, launched a comprehensive new industry, such as eBay are doing auctions on the internet and do a more general industry by extending the limits created by the red ocean. Second, how to exploit and protect blue ocean.

        Competition which is to kill and kill the other (Red Ocean Strategy) should be replaced with no rivalry or competition without having to kill (Blue Ocean Strategy). Thus, it becomes a beautiful business.

Effective Business Learning from Ants and Leaf Lice

Red Ants and Fleas leaf

          Types of ants and certain aphids have a symbiotic relationship. In symbiosis, different animal species help each other. Aphids are small insects that move slowly, living on herbs, and eat the nectar. Nectar is sucked from the tree trunk with his mouth a sharp and long.

         When ingested, the material turned into sweet nectar known as honey dew. This material is then removed by ticks through organs called kornikula. This honey dew favorite food of red ants, which can eat as much as can be produced by the aphids. By raising livestock aphids, ants have a food reserve that is always ready.

         To protect the reserve honey dew, ant very concerned about his aphids. For example, aphids that the ants move into places that contain lots of nectar and search the area if it becomes too dense food, an ant infestation that will move into the more liberal areas. Ants also attack any insects that try to eat the aphids that even though the attacker may be much larger than the ant itself. Scientists have not obtained a certainty when or how this special relationship began, but with the discovery of ants and aphids which have become fossilized together, it is evident that these two types of insects have been helping each other at least since 30 million years ago. 
         
         The story of ants and aphids, according to Stephen R. Covey called the effectiveness of which is thebalance between production and production capability . Production is the desired result, namely honey dew, while the production capability is the ability or asset that produces honey dew, namely aphids. Ant seeks to maintain and keep aphids as well as possible for the aphids still produce honey dew. Ants perform effective action.

Stephen R. Covey

        In business, we often seek short-term profits or result in damage to production capacity or physical assets, such as cars, computers, telephone, fax and even our bodies or our environment. We rarely maintain or care for cars, computers, telephones, and fax. Once the asset is damaged, then we realized that the key asset is an asset. The cost to repair these assets is much more expensive than maintaining these assets on a regular basis, so we have to do things that are not effective.


We also often talk about customer service. We often ignore the people who deal with customers, ie employees, so we just realized after customers gradually left us. Trust and loyalty to our customers is lost. Usually, we just blame employee. That action is not effective. If we want our employees to treat customers well, so must we treat our employees like customers. "You can buy someone's hand, but never to buy his heart. Heart on is the place where the enthusiasm and loyalty are. You can buy his back, but can not buy brains. That's where the creativity, intelligence, and minds, "said Stephen R. Covey. To act effectively, it turns out we have to learn on the ants and aphids.
