The BCG matrix, aka the market share/market growth matrix, stands for Boston Consultant Growth Matrix. It was created in 1968 by Bruce Henderson, founder of Boston Consulting Group.
The growth share matrix is, put simply, a portfolio management framework that helps companies decide how to prioritize their different businesses.

The BCG matrix places business units (or products) in a four-quadrant table that plots market-share against market growth potential. The matrix identifies the stars, cash cows, question marks, and dogs:
Stars:
- High market shares in high-growth markets
- Generate considerable income but require even more cash to finance further growth
Cash cows:
- High market shares in low-growth markets
- Action: focus on maintaining this status for as long as possible, as it produces strong cash flows to reinvest
Question marks:
- Low market shares in high-growth markets
- Require more investment than the cash they generate. Dilemma: support or abandon
Dogs:
- Low market shares in low-growth markets
- Action: withdraw from these markets as quickly as possible (liquidate, divest, or reposition)
