The BCG Matrix, developed by the Boston Consulting Group, is pivotal for managers in optimizing their investment of scarce organizational resources across competing business opportunities. Particularly useful in multibusiness or multiproduct scenarios, it evaluates business units based on industry growth and market share. The matrix categorizes units into four quadrants: Stars, Question Marks, Dogs, and Cash Cows, guiding strategy formulation about which units to invest in, grow, or divest based on their market position and growth potential.
