Strategy Analysis & Choice
Generating Alternatives
• Participation in generating alternative strategies should
be as broad as possible
• Alternative strategies proposed by participants should be
considered, discussed, and ranked in order of
attractiveness

Stage 2 - Matching Stage
 focuses on generating feasible alternative
strategies by aligning key external and internal
factors
 techniques include the Strengths-Weaknesses-

Matching Key External and Internal Factors
to Formulate Alternative Strategies
6-12
SWOT Matrix
1. List the firm’s key external opportunities

4. List the firm’s key internal weaknesses
5. Match internal strengths with external
opportunities

Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) Matrix
helps managers develop four types of
strategies:
 SO (strengths-opportunities) Strategies
 WO (weaknesses-opportunities) Strategies
 ST (strengths-threats) Strategies
 WT (weaknesses-threats) Strategies

Limitations with SWOT Matrix
 Does not show how to achieve a
competitive advantage
 May lead the firm to overemphasize a
single internal or external factor in
formulating strategies

SPACE Matrix
Strategic Position & Action Evaluation Matrix
4-quadrants indicate whether the most appropriate
strategy is:
• Aggressive
• Conservative
• Defensive
• Competitive
Ch 7 -22 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
SPACE Matrix
 The axes of the SPACE Matrix represent
1. Two internal dimensions Financial Position [FP]
and Competitive Position [CP]) and
2. Two external dimensions Stability Position [SP]
and Industry Position [IP]).
These four factors are perhaps the most important
determinants of an organization’s overall strategic
position. 6-23
Factors That Make Up the
SPACE Matrix Axes

Factors That Make Up the
SPACE Matrix Axes
6-25
Steps to Develop a SPACE Matrix
1. Select a set of variables to define
financial position (FP), competitive
position (CP), stability position (SP), and
industry position (IP)
6-26
Steps to Develop a SPACE Matrix
2. Assign a numerical value ranging from +1
(worst) to +7 (best) to each of the
variables that make up the FP and IP
dimensions.
Assign a numerical value ranging from –1
(best) to –7 (worst) to each of the
variables that make up the SP and CP
dimensions
6-27
Steps to Develop a SPACE Matrix
3. Compute an average score for FP, CP, IP, and
SP
4. Plot the average scores for FP, IP, SP, and CP
on the appropriate axis in the SPACE Matrix
5. Add the two scores on the x-axis and plot the
resultant point on X. Add the two scores on the
y-axis and plot the resultant point on Y. Plot the
intersection of the new xy point
6-28
Steps to Develop a SPACE Matrix
6. Draw a directional vector from the origin
of the SPACE Matrix through the new
intersection point
 This vector reveals the type of strategies
recommended for the organization:
aggressive, competitive, defensive, or
conservative

The Boston Consulting Group
(BCG) Matrix
BCG Matrix
 graphically portrays differences among
divisions in terms of relative market share
position and industry growth rate
 allows a multidivisional organization to
manage its portfolio of businesses by
examining the relative market share position
and the industry growth rate of each division
relative to all other divisions in the
organization
6-34
The BCG Matrix
6-35
The BCG Matrix
Question marks – Quadrant I
 Organization must decide whether to
strengthen them by pursuing an intensive
strategy (market penetration, market
development, or product development) or to
sell them
6-36
Ch 6 -37
BCG Matrix
Stars
• High relative market share and high growth rate
- Best long-run opportunities for growth &
profitability
• Substantial investment to maintain or strengthen
dominant position
- Integration strategies, intensive strategies,
joint ventures
Ch 7 -37 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
Ch 6 -38
BCG Matrix
Cash Cows
• High relative market share, competes in low-growth
industry
- Generate cash in excess of their needs
- Milked for other purposes
• Maintain strong position as long as possible
- Product development, concentric diversification
- If weakens – retrenchment or divestiture
Ch 7 -38 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
Ch 6 -39
BCG Matrix
Dogs
• Low relative market share, competes in slow or
no market growth
- Weak internal & external position
• Liquidation, divestiture, retrenchment
Ch 7 -39 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
The BCG Matrix
The major benefit of the BCG Matrix is
that it draws attention to the cash flow,
investment characteristics, and needs of
an organization’s various divisions

The Internal-External Matrix
 Positions an organization’s various
divisions in a nine-cell display
 Similar to BCG Matrix except the IE
Matrix:
- Requires more information about the divisions
- Strategic implications of each matrix are
different
Ch 7 -42 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education
The Internal-External (IE) Matrix
6-43
IE Matrix
 Based on two key dimensions
- The IFE total weighted scores on the x-axis
- The EFE total weighted scores on the y-axis
 Divided into three major regions
- Grow and build – Cells I, II, or IV
- Hold and maintain – Cells III, V, or VII
- Harvest or divest – Cells VI, VIII, or IX

The Grand Strategy Matrix
Grand Strategy Matrix
 based on two evaluative dimensions:
• competitive position and
• market (industry) growth
6-46
The Grand Strategy Matrix
6-47
The Grand Strategy Matrix
Quadrant I
 continued concentration on current markets
(market penetration and market development) and
products (product development) is an appropriate
strategy
Quadrant II
 unable to compete effectively
 need to determine why the firm’s current approach
is ineffective and how the company can best
change to improve its competitiveness
6-48
The Grand Strategy Matrix
Quadrant III
 must make some drastic changes quickly to
avoid further decline and possible liquidation
 Extensive cost and asset reduction
(retrenchment) should be pursued first
Quadrant IV
 have characteristically high cash-flow levels and
limited internal growth needs and often can
pursue related or unrelated diversification
successfully
