What Is a BCG Matrix?
A BCG matrix is an analytical tool used to evaluate the performance and position of different business units or product lines. The results of the analysis are used to determine where to allocate resources.
How to Use the BCG Matrix?
- Choose an area or unit to be analyzed using the BCG matrix. This could be a product line, individual brand or business unit, or the business as a whole.
- Based on the area you chose for the analysis, define the market. Make sure to pick the most appropriate and relevant market for your unit.
- Create a matrix or choose one from the Creately BCG matrix examples. You can customize these online according to your analysis with your team.
- Calculate the relative market share for the chosen unit, based on market share or revenue. The measurement should be plotted on the x-axis.
- Estimate the growth rate of the industry with the help of industry growth reports. This measurement should be plotted on the y-axis.
- Place the units you are analyzing on the appropriate box, based on their market share and growth. Invest in the products in the Stars quadrant, consider phasing out the Dogs, milk the Cows and allocate experimental funds for the Question Marks.
- Export your diagram so you can embed it in your internal websites or the intranet. Or you can simply share a diagram edit/ review link with the key people involved.
