In a nutshell, Blue Ocean Strategy proposes that strategy can shape industry structure, whereas competitive strategy sees strategy as choosing the right position under given structural constraints.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you.
