11. BCG MATRIX
The Boston Matrix:
it provides a useful way of looking at the
opportunities open to you, and helps you
analyses which segments of your
business are in a good position –and
which ones aren’t. That way, you can
decide on the most appropriate
investment strategy for your business in
the future, and where best to allocate
your resources.
Cash Cows:
High Market Share / Low Market Growth
Here, you're well-established, so it's easy to get
attention and exploit new opportunities. However it's
9
10. only worth expending a certain amount of effort, because the market isn't growing
and your opportunities are limited.
Stars:
High Market Share / High Market Growth
Here you're well-established, and growth is exciting!
These are fantastic opportunities, and you should work
hard to realize them.
Question Marks (Problem Child):
Low Market Share / High Market Growth
these are the opportunities no one knows what to do
with. They aren't generating much revenue right now
because you don't have a large market share. But,
they are in high growth markets so the potential to
make money is there. Question Marks might become
Stars and eventual Cash Cows.
Dogs:
Low Market Share / Low Market Growth
In these areas, your market presence is weak, so it's
going to take a lot of hard work to get noticed. Also,
you won't enjoy the scale economies of the
larger players, so it's going to be difficult to make a
profit.
