BCG Growth-SHARE MATRIX
The BCG Growth-Share Matrix is a portfolio planning model developed by Bruce Henderson of the Boston Consulting Group in the early 1970’s. It is based on the observation that a company’s business unit can be classified into four categories based on combinations of market growth and market share relative to the largest competitor, hence the name “growth-share” serves as a proxy for competitive advantage. The growth-share matrix thus maps the business unit positions within these two important determinants of profitability.
