Former general Stanley McChrystal held a key position for much of the War on Terror, as head of the Joint Special Operations Command. In Iraq he found that despite the vastly superior resources, manpower, and training of the US military, Al Qaeda had an advantage because of its structure as a loose network of small, independent cells. Those cells wreaked havoc by always staying one step ahead, sharing knowledge with each other via high-tech communications.

In fact there are so many books, articles, and websites that many startups get bogged down to the point of paralysis, or they focus on the wrong priorities and go broke before they discover their mistakes.

It's really a Business Workbook
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I'd recommend this book in its printed form to organisations looking to, in old terminology, think outside the box and look for new ways to prosper. There are a lot of steps, exercises and references out to secondary material that needs physical study over listening.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
I found the narrators speed a little slow.
Any additional comments?
If you're following the book, it mentions a bonus PDF which you would need to contact the publisher for as it's not included in the download. I'd still recommend a physical/digital copy over the audio.

overly academic, boring and could be summed up in a few chapters. no where near as good as the first one. do yourself a favour and fast forward the first 2 hours. we know what a red and blue ocean are!! you don't need to keep harping on about opening new value frontiers!

Long Winded, Repetitive
For those who already read/heard/understands what Blue Ocean Strategy is, this audiobook is somewhat frustrating to go through as it is extremely repetitive and more suited to large corporations with multi-products or service offerings. I am listening to the 6th chapter now and I still do not have any idea how to develop a blue ocean strategy for my business. I am a sole operator in the recruitment business.
