Boston Product Matrix The Boston Matrix was developed by the large US consulting group BCG (Boston Consulting Group). This matrix is a powerful tool that assists the firms planning their product portfolio. It has two controlling characteristics: relative market share and market growth as suggested from the figure below. [pic] Figure 5: Boston Corporate Group matrix It has four cells and each cell has its name as follows. • a. Dogs. The products that fall in this cell are the ones with a

How to perform BCG matrix analysis? Although BCG analysis has lost its importance due to many limitations, it can still be a useful tool if performed by following these steps: • Step 1. Choose the unit • Step 2. Define the market • Step 3. Calculate relative market share • Step 4. Find out market growth rate • Step 5. Draw the circles on a matrix Step 1. Choose the unit. BCG matrix can be used to analyze SBUs, separate brands, products or a firm as a unit itself. Which unit will be chosen

By choosing an appropriate combination of matrix and reinforcement material, a new material can be made that exactly meets the requirements of a particular application. Composites also provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The downside is often the

fibres that are embedded in a matrix [1], [2]. A composite is unlike an alloy because in an alloy, the other components have been produced by naturally occurring changes. There is a diversity of types of composites currently available, since “it is possible to design materials with property combinations that are better than those found in the metal alloys, ceramics and polymeric materials” [3]. The main ones focused on in this essay are polymeric matrices, metal matrix composites and ceramic composites
