The BCG business portfolio analysis analyzes a firm’s business units (SBUs) or products/brands as though they were a collection of separate investments.
The technique locates SBUs on a market growth-relative market share matrix. Then the SBUs are classified as either “question marks,” “stars,”“cash cows,” or “dogs.”

Positioning Simulation
Here is what you know about the category: Divides into 3 consumer segments, each
representing the following % of market demand:– Segment 1 = 20%– Segment 2 = 30%– Segment 3 = 50%
Positioning Simulation
There are currently 3 brands of Chardonnay in the market: Highway 1, Oak Barrel, and Winter Creek. Research has shown that two product attributes determine most brand preference in this category: price and strength of flavor and aroma.
Positioning Simulation
Your marketing research department informs you that the average price for a bottle of chardonnay is $7.75. They also tell you that the average price for the competitors is:– Highway 1 $3.50– Oak Barrel $8.00– Winter Creek $12.00
Positioning Simulation
Last year the marketing research department did a survey where they obtained some important information. First, for each of the 3 consumer segments, they were able to identify an ideal preferred price, meaning a price the typical consumer in that segment would want to pay for a bottle of chardonnay. The results were as follows:– Segment 1 ideal price $11.00– Segment 2 ideal price $4.00– Segment 3 ideal price $9.00
Positioning Simulation
Another important piece of information the marketing research department was able to identify in this survey was that consumers’ rating of the 3 competitors on the attribute of flavor and aroma strength was as follows (a rating of 1.0 =‘s very light, 10.0 =‘s very intense):– Highway 1 3.0– Oak Barrel 8.5– Winter Creek 3.0
Positioning Simulation
The last piece of information relates to the 3 segment’s ideal desired flavor/aroma intensity level for chardonnay (a rating of 1.0 =‘s very light, 10.0 =‘s very intense):– Segment 1 2.5– Segment 2 4.0– Segment 3 7.0
