In the BCG (Boston Consulting Group) matrix, a "cash cow" represents a business unit or product with a high market share in a mature industry, generating consistent revenue with low growth potential. Conversely, a "rising star" is characterized by a high market share in a rapidly growing industry, indicating significant potential for future growth and investment. While cash cows provide the funds to support other business units, rising stars are seen as future cash cows as they capitalize on market opportunities.
Stars and Cash Cows in the BCG Matrix are typically high-performing products that generate significant revenue and have strong market positions. Investing more marketing support in these categories helps to maintain their competitive advantage and maximize profitability. In contrast, Question Marks may require substantial investment to determine their potential, while Dogs often do not justify further marketing efforts due to low market share and growth prospects. Therefore, prioritizing Stars and Cash Cows ensures a more effective allocation of resources for sustaining growth and profitability.
