BCG Matrix

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Growth-Share Matrix Developed by the Boston Consulting Group in the 1970s Simple way to compare Market Growth vs. Market Share Offers a very useful 'map' of the organization's product (or service) strengths and weaknesses

BCG Matrix

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

STARS High growth, High market share Stars are leaders in business. They also require heavy investment to maintain its large market share. It leads to large amount of cash consumption and cash generation. Attempts should be made to hold the market share and the star will become a CASH COW.

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

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.

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

DOGS Low growth, Low market share

Dogs are the cash traps. Dogs do not have potential to bring in much cash. Number of dogs in the company should be minimized. Business is situated at a declining stage.

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

QUESTION MARKS High growth , Low market share

Most businesses start of as question marks. They will absorb great amounts of cash if the market share remains unchanged, (low).

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

QUESTION MARKS High growth , Low market share

Why question marks? Question marks have potential to become star and eventually cash cow but can also become a dog. Investments should be high for question marks.

Threat of New Entrants

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

High – Since the iPad hasn’t found a niche, one can substitute it with a

MP3 Player Phone Netbook Laptop Book

Substitutes

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Low – Apple is a powerful brand and is an innovator. The iPad is a consumer product and rarely can the consumer influence the price of a mass-market product.

Buyer

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Low - Apple works with several different suppliers and has a strict regulation of whom it will work with. Therefore, the suppliers have limited bargaining power

Global Strategy Products are standardized across national markets

Decisions regarding business-level strategies are centralized in the home office

Strategic business units (SBU) are assumed to be interdependent

Emphasizes economies of scale

Often lacks responsiveness to local markets

Requires resource sharing and coordination across borders (hard to manage)

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Economies of Scale (Les économies d'échelles)

The increase in output from Q to Q2 causes a decrease in the average cost of each unit from C to C1.

Scott Duncan – Marketing Strategy

Transnational Strategy Seeks to achieve both global efficiency and local responsiveness Difficult to achieve because of simultaneous requirements:

Strong central control and coordination to achieve efficiency Decentralization to achieve local market responsiveness

Must pursue organizational learning to achieve competitive advantage
