| Stars (Q2) | A quadrant in the BCG Matrix for divisions that have a high relative market share position and compete in a high-growth industry; this is the upper-left quadrant. |
| Question marks (Q1) | A quadrant in the BCG Matrix for divisions that have a low relative market share position but compete in a high-growth industry; this is the upper-right quadrant |
| Cash Cows (Q3) | A quadrant in the BCG Matrix for divisions that have a high relative market share position but compete in a low-growth industry; they generate cash in excess of their needs are often milked; this is the lower-left quadrant. |
| Dogs (Q4) | A quadrant in the BCG Matrix for divisions that have a low relative market share position and compete in a low-growth industry; this is the lower-right quadrant. |
| Competitive Quadrant | In a SPACE Matrix analysis, when the firm’s directional vector points in the lower-right quadrant it suggests that the firm should pursue competitive strategies such as horizontal integration |
| Aggressive Quadrant | In a SPACE matrix analysis, when the firm’s directional vector points in the upper-right quadrant, the firm should pursue aggressive strategies. |
| Defensive Quadrant | In a SPACE Matrix analysis, when the firm’s directional vector goes into the lower-left quadrant it suggests that the firm should pursue defensive strategies such as retrenchment. |
| Conservative Quadrant | In a SPACE Matrix analysis, when the firm’s directional vector points in the upper-left quadrant it suggests that the firm should pursue conservative strategies such as market penetration. |
| Grand Strategy Matrix | What analytical tool for formulating alternative strategies has four quadrants based on the two dimensions of competitive position and market growth? |
| I/E Matrix | based on two key dimensions: the segment’s IFE total weighted scores on the x-axis and the segment’s EFE total weighted scores on the y-axis. |
| Region 1 | falls into cells I, II, or IV can be described as grow and build. Intensive or integrative strategies can be most appropriate for these divisions. |
| Region 2 | cells III, V, VII – Hold and Maintain Divisions are in an average position. The focus narrows to two intensive strategies: Market penetration Product development |
| Region 3 | (cells VI, VIII, IX – Harvest or Divest) Divisions are weak internally and/or externally. Recommended strategies are: Retrenchment Divestiture |
