Analysis

Controlling Wildcats

Wildcats need continual attention, to ensure that they turn into Stars, or are revised before losses mount up.

The issues that make Wildcats risky must be stabilized.

How will you control Wildcats?

Type in an idea.

Discontinuing Dogs

It may be better to divert resources away from Dogs into other areas with more growth potential, by either selling or discontinuing them.

But if they need more investment, then they should be made to compete with other investment opportunities.

What will you do with Dogs?

Type in an idea.

Protecting Cash Cows

Cash Cows generate profit and allow you to take chances on Wildcats. It is important to maintain these Cash Cows for as long as they are profitable.

Eventually, they will migrate to Dogs and will start to cost money and opportunities.

How will you protect Cash Cows?

Type in an idea.

Investing in Stars

When the market for your Star products or services levels off, you need to ensure that you maintain a strong market share so that you can continue to make a return on investment.

How will Stars become Cash Cows?

Type in an idea.
