INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute

Research - INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute

Welcome to IBOSI Research

The research journey of IBOSI has evolved from the blue ocean to nondisruptive creation – creation without disruption. Just as the blue ocean theory redefines the essence of strategy as creating, not competing, the theory of nondisruptive creation redefines and expands the existing view of innovation beyond disruption. The research outputs of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute are driven by these theories. 

They include international bestselling books, leading academic articles and blogs, a growing body of award-winning and bestselling cases across the globe, development of teaching modules for half-day, full-day and multi-day executive and MBA classes, theory-based movies, and annual top-attended global webinars on the blue ocean family of concepts in collaboration with the Case Centre.
