  6. Problem Child or ? • Low market share in expanding industry • Needs substantial cash to improve its position • Slow progress on experience curve • Increase sales (limit to niche or increase market share (limit to niche) • Leave market

  7. Cash Cow • Leader in mature or declining industry • Can generate funds for other SBUs • Maintain market share e.g. ensure quality, build customer loyalty, develop substitute brands • Maximize Cash Flow e.g. increase usage rate, rate of replacement, modify expense structure, raise prices

  8. Dogs • Low market share in a mature or declining industry • Slow progress on experience curve • Cost disadvantages and few growth opportunities • Harvest or Divest • Concentrate on niches requiring limited effort

  10. Strategy Implications BCG • 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.

  11. Strategy Implications BCG • 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

  12. Assumptions of Growth /Share Matrix • High market share generates cash revenues ? • High Market growth uses more cash resources ?

  13. Issues with Growth/Share Matrix • Market growth is not the only factor related to cash usage. • Market growth is not necessarily related to cash usage. • Market share is not necessarily related cash generation. • Multiple factors lead to profitability. • Cash is not the only factor in evaluating a portfolio.

  14. Issues With Growth/Share Matrix • Limited to industries where experience curve is relevant • Appropriate for volume industries • Overlooks perils of growth • Measurement problems • Product-market definition problems • Difficult to implement strategies
