Abstract

Mavi okyanus stratejisi ortaya atıldığı günden beri hem iş dünyası hem de akademik camia tarafından yoğun ilgi görmüştür. Özellikle mavi okyanus stratejisinin yeni talep alanları oluşturarak, rekabeti anlamsız bırakma önerisi nedeniyle, farklı endüstriler tarafından başarıyla uygulanmıştır. Pek çok endüstride olduğu gibi, yoğun rekabet ortamının olduğu sağlık sektörü mavi okyanus stratejisinin uygulanabileceği sektörlerden biri olabilir. Bu çalışma uluslararası literatür taraması yaparak, “mavi okyanus stratejisinin” kavramsal çerçevesini ve bu stratejinin sağlık sektöründe uygulanabilirliğine yönelik bir bakış açısını ortaya koymayı hedeflenmektedir. Yapılan literatür taramasında, mavi okyanus stratejisinin birçok sektörde başarı ile uygulandığı görülmüştür. Sağlık sektöründeki uygulamalarının henüz sınırlı olmasına rağmen, çeşitli sektörlerdeki başarısına dayanarak mavi okyanus stratejisinin sağlık hizmet alanında uygulanma potansiyelinin olduğu değerlendirilmektedir.
