Definition
BCG matrix (or growth-share matrix) is a corporate planning tool,
which is used to portray firm’s brand portfolio or SBUs on a quadrant
along relative market share axis (horizontal axis) and speed of market
growth (vertical axis) axis.
Growth-share matrix is a business tool, which uses relative market share
and industry growth rate factors to evaluate the potential of business
brand portfolio and suggest further investment strategies.
Market growth rate. High market growth rate means higher earnings
and sometimes profits but it also consumes lots of cash, which is used as
investment to stimulate further growth. Therefore, business units that
operate in rapid growth industries are cash users and are worth investing
in only when they are expected to grow or maintain market share in the
future.
There are four quadrants into which firms brands are classified:
Dogs. Dogs hold low market share compared to competitors and operate
in a slowly growing market. In general, they are not worth investing in
because they generate low or negative cash returns. But this is not
always the truth. Some dogs may be profitable for long period of time,
they may provide synergies for other brands or SBUs or simple act as a
defense to counter competitors moves. Therefore, it is always important
to perform deeper analysis of each brand or SBU to make sure they are
not worth investing in or have to be divested.
Strategic choices: Retrenchment, divestiture, liquidation
Cash cows. Cash cows are the most profitable brands and should be
“milked” to provide as much cash as possible. The cash gained from
“cows” should be invested into stars to support their further growth.
According to growth-share matrix, corporate's should not invest into
cash cows to induce growth but only to support them so they can
maintain their current market share. Again, this is not always the truth.
Cash cows are usually large corporations or SBUs that are capable of
innovating new products or processes, which may become new stars. If
there would be no support for cash cows, they would not be capable of
such innovations.
Stars. Stars operate in high growth industries and maintain high market
share. Stars are both cash generators and cash users. They are the
primary units in which the company should invest its money, because
stars are expected to become cash cows and generate positive cash
flows. Yet, not all stars become cash flows. This is especially true in
rapidly changing industries, where new innovative products can soon be
outcompeted by new technological advancements, so a star instead of
becoming a cash cow, becomes a dog.
Strategic choices: Vertical integration, horizontal integration, market
penetration, market development, product development
Question marks. Question marks are the brands that require much
closer consideration. They hold low market share in fast growing
markets consuming large amount of cash and incurring losses. It has
potential to gain market share and become a star, which would later
become cash cow. Question marks do not always succeed and even after
large amount of investments they struggle to gain market share and
eventually become dogs. Therefore, they require very close
consideration to decide if they are worth investing in or not.
Strategic choices: Market penetration, market development, product
development, divestiture
BCG matrix quadrants are simplified versions of the reality and cannot
be applied blindly. They can help as general investment guidelines but
should not change strategic thinking. Business should rely on
management judgement, business unit strengths and weaknesses and
external environment factors to make more reasonable investment
decisions.
Feel: Feel is the similarity between Parent and the potential business.
Similarities can be determined by industry, organization structure,
culture and law. There can be many other elements need to be
considered. Feel is about critical success factors (CSF) related to the
elements stated above. If the business understands how to makes
potential business successful as it know its CSF, it can use its resources
and capabilities more effectively.
Value Trap Businesses: These are the business outside the industry of
the business considering takeover or merger proposal. It can be said that
it has low feel. There are opportunities for the parent to add value by
helping it because the business possess resources and capability to help
the potential acquisition target lacks the skills necessary for its success.
It can be said that it has high benefits.
Ballast Businesses: These are the business inside the industry of the
business considering takeover or merger proposal. It can be said that it
has high feel. There are no opportunities for the parent to add value by
helping it because potential acquisition target has the skills necessary for
its success. It can be said that it has low benefits.
Heartland Businesses: These are the business inside the industry of the
business considering takeover or merger proposal. It can be said that it
has high feel. There are opportunities for the parent to add value by
helping it because potential business lacks the skills necessary for its
success. It can be said that it has high benefits.
