hi! thanks for the video, it's super helpful :) i was wondering what evaluation points you could use for a longer 12 marker about the use of the Boston matrix for portfolio analysis, how would you effectively make a judgement on this?
Evaluation of the Boston Matrix
This analytical tool has relevance when:
■ analyzing the performance and current position of existing product portfolios
■ planning action to be taken with existing products
■ planning the introduction of new products.
No technique can guarantee business success - this will depend on the accuracy of the analysis by the marketing managers and the skills they possess in employing appropriate marketing strategies. The Boston Matrix helps to establish the current situation in which the firm’s products find themselves - but it is of little use in ‘predicting’ future success or failure.
■ On its own it cannot tell a manager what will happen next with any product. Detailed and continuous market research will help - but at all times, decision-makers must be conscious of the potentially dramatic effects of competitors’ decisions, technological changes and the fluctuating economic environment.
■ It is only a planning tool and it has been criticized as simplifying a complex set of factors determining
product success.
■ The assumption is made that higher rates of profit are directly related to high market shares - this is not
necessarily the case when sales are being gained by reducing prices and profit margins.

Thank you! I hope you are finding the videos useful.
Is it possible for businesses to go from DOGS to CASH COW ?? what i mean is do all businesses go through the Boston Matrix the direction you described it or can they sometimes be different?
What a fabulous question! Let's see if we can help...
First of all, it's important to point out that the Boston Matrix is not applied to a business, it is used to categorise their products. So a business can not be referred to as a DOG, but one of the products in their portfolio can.
Secondly, you are absolutely correct in your assertion that products can move through the matrix in different ways. For example, you are spot on to say that a dog, through an appropriate extension strategy that rebuilds its market share, can return to being a cash cow. This might not be all that common, but it is possible.
Similarly, some products may be problem children/question marks when first released and never go on to become stars or cash cows because their market share never grows large enough. They go straight from being question marks to being dogs. So you are absolutely correct - products can take a more unconventional journey through the matrix.
Hope this helps!
great
