A strategy adopted for quickly achieving ahighvolume ofsalesand deep market penetration of a new

sustain relatively lowprofit margins, and (4) the competitors too will soon lower theirprices.

35) Boston Matrix
7/29/2019 Q&A Marketing
9/12
MARKETING MANAGEMENT Prepared by G.B. Suresh
The Boston Consulting Group Box ("BCG Box")
Using the BCG Box (an example is illustrated above) a company classifies all its SBU's according totwo dimensions:
On the horizontal axis: relative market share - this serves as a measure of SBU strength in the mark
On the vertical axis: market growth rate - this provides a measure of market attractiveness
By dividing the matrix into four areas, four types of SBU can be distinguished:
Stars - Stars are high growth businesses or products competing in markets where they are relatively
strong compared with the competition. Often they need heavy investment to sustain their growth.
Eventually their growth will slow and, assuming they maintain their relative market share, willbecome cash cows.
Cash Cows - Cash cows are low-growth businesses or products with a relatively high market share.
These are mature, successful businesses with relatively little need for investment. They need to bemanaged for continued profit - so that they continue to generate the strong cash flows that the
company needs for its Stars.
Question marks - Question marks are businesses or products with low market share but which opera
in higher growth markets. This suggests that they have potential, but may require substantialinvestment in order to grow market share at the expense of more powerful competitors. Management
have to think hard about "question marks" - which ones should they invest in? Which ones should theallow to fail or shrink?
Dogs - Unsurprisingly, the term "dogs" refers to businesses or products that have low relative share i
unattractive, low-growth markets. Dogs may generate enough cash to break-even, but they are rarely
if ever, worth investing in.
