M2 focuses significant attention on blue ocean strategy, defining both blue and red oceans and explaining the properties associated with each. Specifically, I’d like for you to examine the healthcare offerings of your local marketplace (Shreveport, LA) and work to identify red oceans and potential blue oceans. This will require achieving a deep understanding of red and blue oceans, coupled with an intensive understanding of the selected market. Research beyond that supplied by your readings, notably including field research, will be most helpful in this endeavor.

Your submission must be supported by 4 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) references, with at least 3 being from scholarly academic journals.

In presenting your work, identify the title, your name and student ID number, and submission date at the top of your submission and supply the following sections, exactly as they appear below, placing each heading in bold text:

Abstract: Your paper must include an abstract of approximately 150-250 words. An abstract is a stand-alone summary of your submission; it must be presented at the beginning of your paper, although, for obvious reasons, it is prepared after you finish your paper. Note that this brief, informative summary must include two bullets, with one presenting examples of red oceans and the other presenting examples of blue oceans, as presented and explained in the body of your paper.
