Cash Cows
Question mark

Cash cows
Low growth rate, High market share
– Makes a lot of money. Growth has slowed down. So less expenses (Coca- Cola, Apple)
Dog
low growth rate, low market share
No potential
Question mark
Growing fast. Taking up a lot of cash but generates less cash due to low market share. It will either gain market share and become a star or lose eventually become a dog since they are not making money. (Smartwatches)
Usually helped out by cash cows
market penetration
Existing product into an existing market
product development
New product into an existing market.
market development
Existing product into a new market
Diversification
New product into a new market
product orientation
all about the product. Does not consider competitors or the needs of the market
Sales orientation
Aggressive sales techniques
Market orientation
understand customer needs, company capabilities, knows competitors, and wants to make a profit
societal orientation
concerned about the environment
what are the five forces in porter’s five forces model?
Threats of entrants power of suppliers competitive rivalry threat of substitutes power of buyers
Competitive rivalry
Rivalry among existing companies in a particular industry varies in intensity based on the type and number of competitors and on the basis of competition—price discounting, advertising, new product offerings, and service quality. High competitive rivalry drives down industry profits. Delta vs. United
power of suppliers
Powerful suppliers can drive down industry profits by charging higher prices and/or reducing product and service quality. Oil Industry or Boeing
power of buyer
Powerful buyers (customers) can use their clout to demand and receive lower prices, increased product quality, and more services.
threat of entrants
New entrants can shake up an industry and cause increased competition as they seek to take market share from existing companies in the industry.
threat of substitutes
Substitute products have the potential of replacing existing products because they perform a similar function. As a result, industry profits suffer
Exporting
Sending products manufactured in one country to a different country. There could be regulations by governments to ensure the local companies are competitive.
lowest risk lowest return
licensing
Giving permission to individuals or businesses to own your products/brand name as long as they abide by certain rules when it comes to the product and quality
joint venture
– If you don’t know much about a market, you are better off joining hands with a company who is familiar doing business in the area. (they know the consumers better, they know the area better, they can get things done better)
Joint ownership and control
direct investment
build up wholly owned operations in other countries
highest risk, highest return
what are the three parts of the fraud triangle
opportunity
pressure
rationalization
cross tabs analysis
frequency counts
conditions, attitudes, and/or behaviors that occur most often
Analysis of variance
variability around the average
averages that differ beyond expected variability
regression analysis
Relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent or predictor variables
Factor analysis
Data reduction techniques
Identify highly correlated variables, group into factors
cluster analysis
Classifies objects or people into groups based on similarities
Divide markets into segments
Discriminant analysis
Ability of predictor variable to discriminate between categories
Generate perceptual maps depicting brands
max diff analysis
Measures most/least important or most/least appealing
Determine choice preferences
conjoint analysis
Estimates the value of component attributes given tradeoffs
Develop new products and identify pricing alternatives
data product
combine data with statistical algorithms to create value for customers
make inferences and predictions
ex: amazon does purchase recommendations,
Facebook does people you may know
