This document outlines the history and development of the BCG growth-share matrix, a tool created by the Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s to analyze business opportunities and competitive ability. It describes the key components of the matrix, including market share, market growth rate, and how products move through the product lifecycle. The matrix sorts products into four categories - stars, question marks, cash cows, and dogs - based on their market share and growth rate. It provides recommendations for resource allocation and investment for products in each category. While simple, the BCG matrix gives a quick way to evaluate opportunities and make strategic resource decisions.

- 8. MARKET GROWTH RATE • Market growth is used as a measure of a market’s attractiveness. • MGR = total market sales this year - total market sales last year total market sales last year • Markets experiencing high growth are ones where the total market share available is expanding, and there’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to make money.

- 15. STARS HIGH GROWTH, HIGH MARKET SHARE • Stars are leaders in business by having high market share in a growing market.. • They also require heavy investment, to maintain its large market share. • It leads to large amount of cash consumption and cash generation. GAMAL AHMED ARAFA

- 17. QUESTION MARKS HIGH GROWTH , LOW MARKET SHARE • Question marks are essentially new products where buyers have yet to discover them.Most businesses start of as question marks in growing markets but have low market share.. • Question marks have high demands and low returns due to low market share.Investments should be high for question marks. • They will absorb great amounts of cash if the market share remains unchanged, (low). • Question marks have potential to become stars and eventually cash cow but can also become a dog. GAMAL AHMED ARAFA
- 18. STRATEGY RECOMMENDATIONS • Investment • Increase market share • Selectively develop into Stars • Cash Flow • Require funds from other SBUs (Cash Cows) • Unrealized future opportunities • The marketing strategy is to get markets to adopt these products. • These products need to increase their market share quickly or they become dogs. • The best way to handle Question marks is to either invest heavily in them to gain market share or to sell them .

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.

EVALUATION OF BCG MATRIX: CONS • Oversimplifies complex decisions • BCG MATRIX uses only two dimensions, Relative market share and market growth rate. • Only considers current businesses no dynamics • Does not recognize possible synergies between SBUs • High market share does not mean profits all the time. • Business with low market share can be profitable too.
