BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP MATRIX

Presented by, Sanjay parmar

THE BCG GROWTH-SHARE MATRIX


It is a portfolio planning model which is based on the

observation that a companys business units can be classified in to four categories: Stars Question marks Cash cows Dogs
It is based on the combination of market growth and

market share relative to the next best competitor.

STARS
High growth, High market share
Stars are leaders in business.
They also require heavy investment,

to maintain

its large market share. It leads to large amount of cash consumption and cash generation. Attempts should be made to hold the market share otherwise the star will become a CASH COW.

CASH COWS

Low growth , High market share

They are foundation of the company and often the

stars of yesterday. They generate more cash than required. They extract the profits by investing as little cash as possible They are located in an industry that is mature, not growing or declining.

DOGS
Low growth, Low market share

Dogs are the cash traps. Dogs do not have potential to bring in much cash. Number of dogs in the company should be

minimized. Business is situated at a declining stage.

QUESTION MARKS
High growth , Low market share
Most businesses start of as question marks.
They will absorb great amounts of cash if the

market share remains unchanged, (low). Why question marks? Question marks have potential to become star and eventually cash cow but can also become a dog. Investments should be high for question marks.

WHY BCG MATRIX ?
