The B.C.G Matrix (Boston Box)The Boston Consulting Group developed a 2 x 2 matrix that allows the portfolioof products/SBUs to be positioned on the matrix according to:market growth raterelative market share (relative to the leading competitor)The value of the BCG matrix is that it examines the generation and managementof cash within a business. Relative market share is seen as a predictor of theproducts capacity to generate cash and market growth is seen as the predictor ofthe products need for cash. This suggests that products with high market sharewill achieve high sales, but will need less investment in new brands and shouldhave lower costs due to scale economies. Products in fast growing marketsrequire higher levels of investment than those in slower growing markets.Products in low growth markets with a high market share will generate cash,which can be used to fund other products needing investment.Nb: Cash flow is not the same as profitability. 4. are at the introduction stage of the PLC, with high market growth and low market share.Question Marks They are absorbing cash to fund developments in marketing in attempting to become future stars of the business. are the future of the organisation with high market share and high market growth.Stars They are at the growth stage of the PLC but are still absorbing cash to sustain and develop market share are at the maturity stage of the PLC and have high market share, but market growth is slowing.CASH COW Marketing expenditure is limited so cash generated to fund other product areas of the business are at the decline stage of the PLC having both low share and growth in the market.DOG However, they are capable of generating cash in the short term. 5.
