    The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix is a strategic tool used to evaluate a business's position in terms of market share and market growth. The matrix categorizes businesses into four quadrants: Dogs, Cash Cows, Stars, and Question Marks. Dogs represent businesses with low market share and low growth, often leading to liquidation due to minimal returns. Cash Cows have a large market share but low growth, providing steady profits with minimal investment. Stars are high-growth businesses with a significant market share, attracting investments, while Question Marks have low market share in high-growth markets, requiring strategic investment to potentially become Cash Cows or Stars. The BCG matrix provides a visual representation for companies to analyze their performance and guide investment decisions.
