The authors of the book Blue Ocean Strategy argue‚ however‚ that intensive competition will only lead to bloody red oceans in which companies find themselves fighting over an ever-shrinking profit pool.

I chose to write about “Do Blue Laws Save Lives? The Effect of Sunday Alcohol Sales Bans on Fatal Vehicle Accidents” by Michael F. Lovenheim and Daniel P. Steefel‚ which featured in the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management in Fall of 2011.
