The paper presents in detail the theme encompassed by blue ocean strategy, elaborates the theoretical perspectives and highlights its components inclusive of description of frameworks and analytical tools. Porter’s theoretical perspective on strategy was incorporated in the discussion to build the arguments for antithesis and conclusions are accordingly drawn. This paper is meant to provide some diverse perspectives on Strategy, the related description of frameworks and analytical tools for the constituencies of academia, practitioners and policy makers.
