1.WHY WAS CIRQUE DU SOLEIL INITIALLY ABLE TO GAIN AND SUSTAIN A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?
Cirque Du Soleil was able to sustain the competitive advantage since it was the first initiator of not including the animals in its performing arts and “created uncontested market space”. The ideology of Cirque Du Soleil was purely based on blue ocean strategy since it only focused on value innovation by feeding its audience according to their best interests. The Cirque did not include significant names and high-cost performers. It worked on strategic aspects by identifying the requirement of the audience and fulfilling it by hiring those performers who were the right ones to the subject matter.
