在《哈佛商学院案例课》中,有一段描述商业竞争的经典语句: 原文:If a startup is operating successfully in a new market, other startups, established companies and industry giants often follow on their heels and quickly turn a blue ocean of opportunities into a fiercely competitive red ocean.关键表达:
红海市场:a red ocean激烈竞争:a fiercely competitive red ocean蓝海市场:a blue ocean蓝海机会:a blue ocean of opportunities千万不要想当然地译为是红海或蓝海那么简单。 解释:红海市场(Red Ocean):指竞争激烈的市场或行业,众多竞争者已经进入。
蓝海市场(Blue Ocean):指充满机会的新市场或行业,尚未被其他竞争者发现或开发。
