About the BCG growth-share matrix
The BCG growth-share matrix was developed by the Boston Consulting Group in the 1960s to determine the relative market share of an activity and evaluate the market growth linked to it. This allows managers to identify profit-generating or high-potential activities, as well as activities in decline and activities that are likely to collapse. This has important consequences when it comes to deciding which sectors to focus on and where to allocate scarce resources.
In this book, you will discover how the BCG growth-share matrix can help you, learn how to classify your strategic business units into the four categories, and use your findings to make better business decisions. A clear explanation of the benefits and potential drawbacks of the method, a discussion of a practical case study, and an introduction to related models will give you the tools you need to tailor your approach to your situation.
