Market Share

-

RELATIVE MARKET SHARE (RMS)

ExampleExample- Market Share of the India's Electronics Companies COMPANY MARKET SHARE IN 2012 Sony 27% Samsung 17% LG 16% Videocon 14% Onida 10% Business unit sales this year 16 RMS = = 27 = 0.59% 59% Leading rival sales this year
Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Market Growth

The Boston Consulting Groups Growth-Share Matrix

Stars
Stars are the unit with a high market share in a fast growing industry. Star represent the best profits and growth opportunities in the market. Generates high revenues and also requires huge cash for sustaining the STAR position. Product is in growth stage.

Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Stars
Strategic Implications: Huge potential May be expensive to develop Worth spending money to promote Consider the extent of their product life cycle in decision making

Stars
Strategic Decisions: Invest high & huge promotions to attract larger customer base to match with the industry growth rate. Competition will be increasing & hence, holding the customer base (MS) with concentration & product development strategy.

Cash Cows
A cash cow is a product or a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins. They are the business with low growth rate and high market share. Generating cash more than its requirement which can be used by other units (positive cash flows). Product in maturity Stage.

Cash Cows
Strategic Implications: Less Cost to promote Generate large amounts of cash can be used for further investment? Costs of developing and promoting have largely gone Need to monitor their performance the long term? At the maturity stage of the PLC?
Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Cash Cows
Strategic Decisions:

Holding the position through Stability Strategy & through integration strategy Differentiation of products in stiff competitive environment is must, to encash as mush share in slow industry growth.

Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Question Marks
Question Marks are the units with low market share in a fast growing industry. They required large amount of cash to grow their market share. for e.g.: Promotional expenses. They have the potential to generate profits and achieve a dominant position in market. Product is in introduction stage, in a fast growing market.
Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Question Marks
Strategic Implications: What are the chances of these products securing a hold in the market? How much will it cost to promote them to a stronger position? Is it worth it?

Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Question Marks
Strategic Decisions: Aggressive investment & expansion to capitalise on Industrys Growth rate with Focus Differentiation or Low cost Strategy or Divestiture, if the cost of expansion & building MS is outweigh the potential payoff & financial risk

Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Dogs
Dogs often have little future and are big cash drainer on the company. Generating cash just to BREAK-EVEN. It is a self sustaining unit (Negative Cash Flow). They do not generate any profit for the overall business and hence can be sold off and hired off. Product is in decline stage, with no chance of revival.
Prof. Prashant B. Kalaskar

Dogs
Strategic Implications: Are they worth persevering with? How much are they costing? Could they be revived in some way? How much would it cost to continue to support such products? How much would it cost to remove from the market?

GE9 Cell-McKensey Matrix


GE Matrix or McKinsey Matrix is a strategic tool for portfolio analysis. Developed by GE & McKensey & Co. of USA in 1971 It is similar to the BCG Matrix and actually the GE / McKinsey Matrix is an extension of the BCG Matrix - Multifactor Portfolio Analysis Tool. This tool compares different businesses on "Business Strength" and "Market Attractiveness" Strength" "Market Attractiveness" as two variables

GE9 Cell-McKensey Matrix


The GE / McKinsey Matrix is divided into nine cells - nine alternatives (3x3) for positioning of any SBU or product offering. Based on the strength of the business and its market attractiveness each SBU will have a different position in the matrix. Further, the market size and the current sales will distinguish each SBU. Based on clear understanding of all of these factors decision makers are able to develop effective strategies.

Objective of GE9 Cell-McKensey Matrix


Thus, the objective of the analysis is to position each SBU on the chart depending on the SBU's Strength and the Attractiveness of the Industry Sector or Market on which it is focused. Each axis is divided into Low, Medium and High, giving the nine-cell matrix as shown nineahead.

GE9 Cell-McKensey Matrix


SBUs are portrayed as a circle plotted on the GE/McKinsey Matrix, where the size of the circle represents a factor such as Market Size.

The GE/McKinsey Matrix differs from other tools, like the Boston Consulting Group Matrix, in that multiple factors are used to define Industry Attractiveness and Business Unit Strength.

General Electrics Industry Attractiveness-Business Strength Matrix
