BCG Matrix in 2019
I guess everyone knows what it’s the BCG Matrix, right? For those who are not sure, it’s a matrix covering the product life cycle vs the usage of cash. You might read many explanations, but what about looking at them from the Silicon Valley perspective.
QUESTION MARK – it’s technically the early stage product and anything you launch and don’t have any idea if your products are successful or will thrive. Cash generation is very low, you have practically no clients and nobody is buying your product so your intention is to move to Star; you can technically keep up with the cash usage from the client who is generating the cash. This must happen very quickly as you can’t burn money.
DOG – this is the time to rethink if your venture makes sense or not. You keep burning money, it’s not as high as in “Question mark” stage, but it’s high enough to realize that your company or products are not successful. Rethink your strategy; get things right and start over again. It’s most difficult to shift to Star if the drive you had is gone and you need to refocus. You and your money dried up!
STAR – this is the most positive part of the entrepreneurship. You might get to the stage of your venture when you create something brilliant and unique! Everyone will love it! Your company generates plenty of cash so you can cover the cash usage and develop your company as you want. You are in tune with the growth of your company and you can do whatever you want, it is the most enjoyable part of your endeavor!
COW – this is the perpetuum mobile where the company keeps generating cash and you know that there is no extra cent you need to spend to keep that COW alive. The best way to prove COW stage, it’s to set up the company as “owner absentee” and have a manager to run it. This part is great when you run additional companies or are starting a new one. A company generating cash is a brilliant opportunity to start something new as you don’t need to put effort to generate cash.
If I look at today’s Silicon Valley companies none of them are pure COW, STAR, DOG or QUESTION MARK. Well, what I meant that today’s Silicon Valleys companies (the successful one, mid-size, and small size) are mostly burning more money that can be seen as STAR. It will still need cash to generate additional funds and on top of that, these companies receive additional capital to prevent them from falling to the other segments. These companies might be seen as SUPER-STAR – generating and spending cash plus raising extra money to keep growing and generating more funds, which will eventually be burned. This is today’s BCG Matrix in Silicon Valley. SUPER-STAR fundraising from investors as well as generating cash flow from clients is equal to debt! Nobody is interested in the cash COW!
And finally, why did I write this post? Well, we got contacted by one of the BCG representatives! I can’t be more excited, I don’t want to say which of our companies, but it’s proof that we do “something” right! If the deal will not go through, the fact that we have been contacted by one of the most prestigious companies in the world speaks for itself! I remember the day when my teacher of economics taught us about this matrix and now we have the chance to work with this brilliant company.
I have the feeling that I need to jump on the plane and talk to them. I just love these guys! They have been my STAR and COW all my life!
Your place is valueble for me. Thanks!…

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d
ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or
maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the
same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly
benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send
me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for your prompt reply. I received the remaining two boxes yesterday. Things take time to get here but as there was a wide gap in the delivery dates, I was a bit worried. Thank you for your excellent service.
Victor B, Sorry, I forgot to email you earlier. I recieved the tv in about one week and it is in perfect condition and works like a dream. Thank you so much for excellent customer service and an excellent product.
This will be my only question. I asked you this a while back but hadn’t heard from you so I asked this question on video help message boards but was told there wasn’t a straight answer to it but you understood what I meant and was able to tell me which recorder to get & I couldn’t be more happy with it so I need to ask you this again so you can tell me the phrase I need to look out for so I know which recorders to buy from you in the future. Otherwise I’ll have to keep asking you each time I want to buy a recorder from you which one has the capabilities I need so if you tell me the technical phrase I can find which ones you have that I need for myself and then I could just go and order those ones from you. Becuase you helped me, I don’t want to buy elsewhere in the future so I promise I won’t take the information you give me and shop elsewhere. So here is the message again and hope to hear what the phrase is so I can look for it on your future items for
All of the video sites I visted and asked this to weren’t able to help me with this but you did and it’s been invaluable to me.
One question though, being a newbie at this sort of thing, what is the technical phrase for this? What is it that’s listed in the product specs on your web pages that told you this Pioneer model could handle the A/V synch issue on the DVD+R discs? I’d just like to know so I know what to look out for in the future is all. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Charlie – that’s all… ok! Not a problem, I was very pleased with the first batch of items I obtained from your company; I’m using them every day with my U.S.-produced equipment here in Australia. I trust that this order, which is for the rest of the items to be included with the relocation of my household, will perform at the same level that the first one has. Keep up the good work and I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone I know in need of various electronic equipment, converters, transformers, etc. that have to work internationally.
Thank you so much. I am sorry for any inconvenience to you. It’s a browser issue. I have used World Imports twice in the past for region free DVD players and would think of no other. You provide wonderful service and great prices. When I am in need of a new player I just go to your site. I also tell my friends about it.
Hi,I received my new oppo dvd player today and I am very happy with it. Great choice the gentlemen who recommended it to me. The only thing there was no receipt in the box. Can a receipt be mailed to me for my records please. Also, was the samsung dvd player I sent back received.
