Question 6 A wood flooring company MBP has the product line XYZ with the relative market share of 0.35. Assume that the growth rate of that product line is at 5%. The strategic planner intends to evaluate the product line in the BCG matrix. The strategic planner assumes the base-line growth rate is at 6%, and the medium market share is at 0.5 in that industry. In the BCG matrix for wood flooring industry, product line XYZ is located in the quadrant of __________. Star Dog Question mark Cash cow Question 8 The quantified values of _______________ are the coordinates of the x-axis (horizontal axis) whereas the quantified values of _______________ are the coordinates of the y-axis (vertical axis). Financial Strength (FS) factors; Industry Strength (IS) factors Competitive Advantage (CA) factors; Environmental Stability (ES) factors Industry Strength (IS) factors; Competitive Advantage (CA) factors Financial Strength (FS) factors; Competitive Advantage (CA) factors Question 11 Company Y competes with 4 key competitors and a group of relatively small companies in the steel industry. The revenues of these competitive companies in the steel industry are given in the following table. You are tasked to determine the relative market share of each competitor in that industry. Companies Corporate Revenues Relative market share per BCG conceptual requirement Company R $150,000 Company S $180,000 Company T $160,000 Company U $170,000 Remaining companies in the steel industry $110,000 Total $770,000 0.06; 0.25; 0.22; 0.21; 0.12 0.83; 1.11; 0.90; 0.85; 0.50 0.83; 1.06; 0.89; 0.94; 0.61 0.80; 0.97; 0.85; 0.94; 0.45 Question 16 A collectible manufacturing company Becollectibles, Inc. has 4 product lines with the relative market shares and industry growth rate given in the following table. The assumptions made by the strategic planner are: Base-line growth rate is at 5.5%, and the medium market share is set at 0.5 in the BCG matrix. Determine the respective quadrants in the BCG analysis for these product lines. Product lines by Becollectibles, Inc. Relative market share Industry growth rate BCG quadrant Product line 1 0.45 4.5% Product line 2 0.56 3.7% Product line 3 0.64 6.1% Product line 4 0.38 5.7% Question mark, cash cow, star, dog Dog, cash cow, star, question market Question mark, star, cash cow, dog Dog, star, cash cow, question mark Question 19 The strategic researcher determines the various elements that are relevant for the SPACE matrix for Stevenson Die-Cast Inc. in the following table. Please determine the x-axis coordinate, the y-axis coordinate, and the quadrant in that SPACE matrix for the strategic researcher. Stevenson Die-Cast Inc. Internal Strategic Position External Strategic Position Competitive Advantage (CA) Industry Strength (IS) Product quality -2 Growth potential 2 Market share -3 Intensive start-up costs 2 Speed to market -2 Capacity utilization 1 Control over suppliers -2 Barriers to entry into market 3 Average of CA Average of IS Sum for X axis coordinate: Stevenson Die-Cast Inc. Financial Strengths (FS) Environmental Stability (ES) Return on equity 1 Technological changes -1 Liquidity ratios 2 Inflation rate -2 Cash flow 3 Price elasticity of demand -3 Inventory turnover 2 Risk involved in business -1 Average of FS Average of ES Sum for Y axis coordinate: x axis coordinate = 0.45; y-axis coordinate = -1.08; competitive quadrant x-axis coordinate = 1.75; y-axis coordinate = 0.75 aggressive quadrant x-axis coordinate = -1.15; y-axis coordinate = -1.82; defensive quadrant x-axis coordinate = -0.25; y-axis coordinate = 0.25; conservative quadrant Question 20 The strategic researcher uses the value of 0.5 to determine the medium level of the relative market share. Determine the relative market shares and the quadrants in BCG for the product lines (1), (2), (3) and (4) of MNPQ in their respective BCG matrices. Product line Expected revenues Company MNPQ relative market share Industry growth rate Base-line growth rate Quadrant in respective BCG matrices Company MNPQ Largest competitor Product line (1) $15,500 $34,000 11% 10.00% Product line (2) $39,000 $42,000 8% 6.00% Product line (3) $31,000 $40,000 7% 9.00% Product line (4) $11,000 $32,000 6% 8.00% Total $96,500 $148,000 Relative market share of Product line (1)= 0.43;: Cash cow; and relative market share of Product line (2) = 0.89; Star Relative market share of Product line (3)= 0.73; Cash cow, and relative market share of product line (4) = 0.43; Dog Relative market share of Product line (3) = 0.78; Cash cow; and relative market share of product line (1)= 0.46; Question Mark Relative market share of Product line (2) = 0.83; and relative market share of product line (3) = 0.78; both are Cash Cows Question 21 Beta Toy Company competes with three large toy manufacturers and the group of remaining companies in the die-cast toy industry. Please compute the respective market share per BCG matrix of each of these companies: Beta Toy Company, Sigma Die-cast Company, Omega Die-cast Company, Racing Collectible Company, and the group of smaller companies.
