Allocation of resources is key strategic
decision. Portfolio planning tools have been
developed to guide the process of strategic
planning and resource allocation. Three tools
are:
1. BCG MATRIX
2. GENERAL ELECTRICS SPOTLIGHT MATRIX
3. McKINSEY MATRIX
The BCG Matrix (Growth-Share Matrix) was
created in the late 1960s by the founder of the
Boston Consulting Group, Bruce Henderson, as
a tool to help his clients with efficient allocation
of resources among different business units. It
has since been used as a portfolio planning and
analysis tool for marketing, brand management
and strategy development
The BCG Matrix helps managers classify business
units/products as low or high performers
using the following criteria:
1. Relative market share (strength of a business
unit's position in that market)
2. Market growth rate (attractiveness of the
market in which a business unit operates)
This classification places business units/products in the following
four categories:
1. Stars – BUs/products characterized by high-growth and high-
market share. They often require heavy external investment to
sustain their rapid growth as they may not be producing any
positive cash flow. Eventually, their growth will slow, and they
will turn into cash cows.
2. Cash Cows - BUs/products characterized by low-growth, high-
market share. These are well established and successful BUs that
do not require substantial investment to keep their market share.
They produce a lot of cash to be used for other business units
(Stars and Question Marks) of the company.
3. Question Marks - BUs/products characterized by low-market
share in high-growth markets. They require a lot of financial
resources to increase their share since they cannot generate
enough cash themselves. The crucial decision is to decide which
Question Marks to phase out and which ones to grow into Stars.
4. Dogs - BUs/products with low-growth, low-market share. In
addition, they often have poor profitability. The business strategy
for a Dog is most often to divest. However, occasionally
management might make a decision to hold a Dog for possible
strategic repositioning as a Question Mark or Cash Cow.
The BCG model follows the following major
steps:
1. Identify major organizational business units
(BUs) and identify RMS and MGR for each BU
2. Plot the BUs on the BCG Matrix
3. Classify the BUs as Question Marks, Stars, Cash
Cows and Dogs
4. Develop strategies for each BU based on their
position and movement trends within the
matrix

The GE/McKinsey Matrix is a nine-cell (3 by 3)
matrix and it is primary used to perform
business portfolio analysis on the strategic
business units (SBU) of a corporation. A
business portfolio is the collection of all the
business units within a corporation and a large
corporation has normally many SBUs..
The two components used to evaluate
businesses, which also serve as the axes of the
matrix, are the 'attractiveness' of the relevant
industry and the unit's 'competitive strength'
within the same industry. Each axis is then
divided into Low, Medium and High.
Six steps are necessary to implement the
GE/McKinsey analysis:
1. Determine which factors are relevant for the
corporation in the industry where it operates
2. Assign a weight to each factor
3. Score each factor
4. Multiply the relative scores and weights
5. Sum all up and interpret the graph
6. Perform a review / sensitivity analysis
