GDB 2 Solution The BCG matrix is based on the product life cycle theory that can be used to determine what priorities should be given in the product portfolio of a business unit. To ensure long term value creation, a company should have a portfolio of products that contains both high-growth products in need of cash input and low-growth products that generate a lot of cash. It has two dimensions: Market share and Market growth

Placing products in the BCG Matrix results in 4 categories in a portfolio of a company

1. Stars:                           High growth, high market share
2. Cash Cows:                Low growth, high market share
3. Dog:                             Low growth, low market share
4. Question marks:     High growth, low market share
