• Star – Leader in Expanding Industry– BUILD - Continue to increase market share – if
necessary at expense of short-term earnings
• Problem Child – Low market share in Expanding Industry– HARVEST if weak, BUILD if strong.– Assess chances of dominating segment. If good, go
after share. If bad, redefine business or withdraw.
• Cash Cow – Leader in mature or declining industry– HOLD - Maintain share and cost leadership until further
investment becomes marginal– Maximize cash flow
• Dogs – Low market share in a mature or declining industry– DIVEST Plan an orderly withdrawal so as to maximize
cash flow or concentrate on niches that require limited effort
