    VIDEO SUMMARY
    ThIS video is about a business model called the Boston Matrix.
    The Boston Matrix is a framework that helps businesses assess their portfolio of products or business units. It helps businesses decide where to invest their resources by categoriSing products into four categories: stars, question marks, cash cows, and dogs.
    Stars: These are products that have a high market share and are in a high-growth market. They are the most profitable products in a business's portfolio and require a lot of investment to maintain their market share.
    Question marks: These are products that have a low market share but are in a high-growth market. They have the potential to become stars, but they also require a lot of investment. Businesses need to be selective about which question marks to invest in.
    Cash cows: These are products that have a high market share but are in a low-growth market. They generate a lot of cash that can be used to invest in stars and question marks.
    Dogs: These are products that have a low market share and are in a low-growth market. They do not generate much cash and are often a drain on resources. Businesses should consider phasing out dogs or selling them off.
    The Boston Matrix is a useful tool for businesses to help them make decisions about their product portfolios, but it is not a perfect tool. It is important to consider other factors such as industry profits and brand strength when making investment decisions.

    When it's talking about market share and market growth is that in terms of volume and value as well as the product life cycle in terms of sales?

      Yes, when discussing market share and market growth, it typically includes both volume and value aspects.

    Why is bottom right quadrant a cash cow? Relative market share can be very high and market growth low, but none of these say anything about revenue. It might generate very little cash if the market is small and might even be the lowest cash earner in the matrix. What am I missing?

      I'm not sure which of the topics featured in this playlist are in the CIE specification, but I'm sure many are. You'll need to list the key topics and then match those to the playlist videos
