Chapter IV
BCG Matrix
The Boston Consulting Group approach (BCG):
It is a process of evaluating a company’s strategic business units in terms of their market growth
rate and relative market share. The SBUs are Stars, Cash cows, Questions marks, Dogs.
Stars
In this position a company has high growth rate and strong market share. It needs huge amount
of investment to keep their rapid growth. After above discussion we can say that the East West
Property Development (PVT) Ltd. of Bashundhara Group is in the star position.
Cash cows
Bashundhara Paper Mills Ltd. is in the cash cow position because this company has low growth
rate and strong market share. This company needs less investment to keep their current position.
They produce a lot of cash that the company uses to pay its bills and to support other SBUs that
need investment.
Questions marks
Bashundhara City Development Ltd. is in the questions marks position because this company
has high growth rate and weak market share. Sometimes this company converts into star
position.
Dogs
Bashundhara Lp Gas Ltd. is in the dogs position because it has low growth rate and weak
market share. It may generate enough cash to maintain themselves but do not promise to be
large sources of cash.
