Growth Share MatrixGrowth Share Matrix
According to Henderson, there are four rules for cash flows:
1. Margins and cash generated are a function of market share. High
margins and high market share go together.
2. Growth requires cash input to finance added assets. The added
cash required to hold share is a function of growth rates.
3. High market share must be earned or bought. Buying market
share requires an additional increment of investment.
4. No product market can grow indefinitely. The payoff from growth
must come when the growth slows, or it never will. The payoff is
cash that cannot be reinvested in that product.

When you can measure what you are speaking
about, and express it in numbers, you know
something about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot express it in
numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and
unsatisfactory kind.

Caveats to Creating MeasuresCaveats to Creating Measures
Care should be taken not to sub-optimize
measures. (measures that, if the
organization were not careful, could pull
down other measures, or end up as
artifacts.)
For example, “increase call volumes.” which
can be achieved by poor responses or
hanging up on your customer.

Motivated ReasoningMotivated Reasoning
Managers who are involved in selecting
strategic initiatives are likely to perceive
those initiatives as more successful.

of Responsibility and Causal-Chain Focus. Cornell University. Dissertation. 2007.
Balanced Scorecard Can ReduceBalanced Scorecard Can Reduce
Motivated ReasoningMotivated Reasoning
If the scorecard is framed as a causal
chain, managers will be less susceptible to
motivated reasoning because success
becomes more clearly defined: an initiative
must not only improve the measure on
which it should have a direct effect, but
also must improve the measures on which
it should have an indirect effect.
