These two iconic books, Blue Ocean Strategy and Beyond Disruption, together changed how the world thinks about strategy and innovation.

Red Ocean Traps (Harvard Business Review Classics) by W. Chan Kim,Renée A. Mauborgne Pdf
As established markets become less profitable, companies increasingly need to find ways to create and capture new markets. Despite much investment and commitment, most firms struggle to do this. What, exactly, is getting in their way? World-renowned professors W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne, the authors of the best-selling book Blue Ocean Strategy have spent over a decade exploring that question. They have seen that the trouble lies in managers' mental models--ingrained assumptions and theories about the way the world works. Though these models may work perfectly well in mature markets, they undermine executives' attempts to discover uncontested new spaces with ample potential (blue oceans) and keep companies firmly anchored in existing spaces where competition is bloody (red oceans). In this bound version of their bestselling Harvard Business Review classic article, they describe how to break free of these red ocean traps. To do that, managers need to: (1) Focus on attracting new customers, not pleasing current customers; (2) Worry less about segmentation and more about what different segments have in common; (3) Understand that market creation is not synonymous with either technological innovation or creative destruction; and (3) Stop focusing on premium versus low-cost strategies. The Harvard Business Review Classics series offers you the opportunity to make seminal Harvard Business Review articles a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world--and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.

"Like many parents in the US, parents in China, increasingly concerned with their children's academic performance, are turning to for-profit businesses to help their children get ahead in school. China's educational testing industry (ETI) is now the world's largest and most vibrant for-profit education market, with almost one-tenth of China's enormous population attending ETI classes every year. We see the results in the US higher education system, as more than 70% of Chinese students studying in American universities have taken test-preparation classes for overseas standardized tests, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). In addition to telling an interesting educational story, sociologist Le Lin also tells a fascinating organizational one. A former insider at a Chinese ETI business, Lin shows how and why the Chinese educational testing industry evolved to become a for-profit industry dominated by private, formal, nationally operating, and globally financed corporations, despite restrictions the Chinese state placed on the industry. In addition to unpacking the industry-level evolution, he also probes the transformation at the organizational level: why do some organizations thrive while others fail during the transition to market capitalism? Lin answers these questions by looking closely at the opportunistic organizations that were founded by marginal entrepreneurs. He found that the more opportunistic practices, even those that did not always follow the law, thrived in this initially ambiguous industry. The marginal and opportunistic operators in the ETI implemented aggressive firing and hiring policies that kept a wide range of instructors available and even innovated new teaching practices that led to better student performance. The organizations that broke the rules were the ones that most often won the day. Ultimately, Lin shows that state policies against opportunistic practices unintentionally facilitated the domination of opportunists. As opportunists became rule-makers and diffused their practices across the industry, they pushed privatization and marketization from below. The case of Chinese ETI terrifically illustrates how opportunism is often destructive, but it can also be productive to the formation and function of a market"--

So far in 2013-14 I've written and produced four albums and am working on a fifth. Two; "The river" and "Charleena" in 2013 and "The King of The Fire", and "once Upon a Perfect Storm" in 2014, and am working on "I'm in Love With a Dream". Many of my songs are ballads with a natural order theme to them, I try to put meaning to them , tell a story or have the listener stop and take pause. There is a pattern or creative reality expressed in many of them with a philosophical alignment to Native cultures. Subjects include stuff like Eagles ,Rivers ,Storms ,Dreams, Battle, Love, Spirit, Fire, Wonder, Life, Epic Adventure, and Overcoming or Conquering adversity through Natural Living. I find myself in agreement with native philosophy and teachings
Study of the sea--both in terms of human interaction with it and its literary representation--has been largely ignored by ecocritics. In Shakespeare’s Ocean, Dan Brayton foregrounds the maritime dimension of a writer whose plays and poems have had an enormous impact on literary notions of nature and, in so doing, plots a new course for ecocritical scholarship. Shakespeare lived during a time of great expansion of geographical knowledge. The world in which he imagined his plays was newly understood to be a sphere covered with water. In vital readings of works ranging from The Comedy of Errors to the valedictory The Tempest, Brayton demonstrates Shakespeare’s remarkable conceptual mastery of the early modern maritime world and reveals a powerful benthic imagination at work.

The marvelous tale of one fish, the fisherman who first caught her, and how our insatiable appetite for bluefin tuna turned a cottage industry into a massive global dilemma. In 2004, an enigmatic charter captain named Al Anderson caught and tagged one Atlantic bluefin tuna off New England's coast. Fourteen years later that same fish—dubbed Amelia for her ocean-spanning journeys—was caught again, this time in a Mediterranean fish trap. Over his fishing career, Al marked more than sixty thousand fish with plastic tags, an obsession that made him nearly as many enemies as it did friends. His quest landed him in the crossfire of an ongoing fight between a booming bluefin tuna industry and desperate conservation efforts, a conflict that is once again heating up as overfishing and climate change threaten the fish's fate. Kings of Their Own Ocean is an urgent investigation that combines science, business, crime, and environmental justice. Through Karen Pinchin's exclusive interviews and access, interdisciplinary approach, and mesmerizing storytelling, readers join her on boats and docks as she visits tuna hot spots and scientists from Portugal to Japan, New Jersey to Nova Scotia, and glimpse, as Pinchin does, rays of dazzling hope for the future of our oceans.
