16. BCG Matrix
`
DOG
It has a small market share in a mature industry.
A dog may not require substantial cash because dogs
have low market share and a low growth rate and thus
neither generate nor consume a large amount of cash.
QUESTION MARK (Problem Child)
It has a small market share in a high growth market.
Question marks are growing rapidly and thus consume
large amounts of cash, but because they have low
market shares they do not generate much cash.
It has the potential to gain market share and become a
star, and eventually a cash cow when the market
growth slows.
17. Bcg matrix
STAR
It has a large market share in a fast growing industry.
Stars generate large amounts of cash because of their
strong relative market share, but also consume large
amounts of cash because of their high growth rate.
CASH COW
It has a large market share in a mature, slow growing
industry.
As leaders in a mature market, they exhibit a return on
assets that is greater than the market growth rate, and thus
generate more cash than they consume.
Such business units should be "milked", extracting the
profits and investing as little cash as possible.
