// Strategy formulation and BCG matrix model

The BCG matrix — 'Question marks'

‘Question marks’ do not produce much profit but compete in rapidly growing markets. They are the source of difficult strategic decisions. The preferred strategy is growth, but the risk exists that further investments will not result in improved market share. Only the most promising question marks should be targeted for growth, others are restructuring or divestiture candidates.
