ACCA P3考试:BCG Matrix
1. Objectives
In 1972, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) designed a method of strategic analysis to:
Assess the relative strength of individual products and a company's portfolio; and
Advise on product strategy.
2. Measures
The matrix technique uses two measures to determine what makes a "good" product:
a. The rate of growth of the market for the product
b. The relative market share achieved by the company's product
2.1 Cash cow
? High relative market share in a low-growth market.
? Large positive cash flows.
? Product life cycle is in maturity or decline stage, so the market is less attractive to new entrants and existing competition.
2.2 Star
? High relative market share in a high-growth market.
? May be only cash neutral as large amounts of cash may need to be spent to defend an organization’s position against competitors.
? Competitors will be attracted to the market by the high growth rate.
2.3 Problem child
? Low market share in a high growth market means these are cash users but have prospects if market share is increased (requires investment).
? Large negative cash flows.
2.4 Dog
? Low relative market share in a low-growth market.
? Tends to have ongoing negative cash flow.
? It is unlikely to take market share from competitors.
? Competitors, having the advantage of larger market shares, are likely to fiercely resist any attempts to reduce their share of a low-growth or static market.
