The Boston Matrix for Cadbury's
The Boston Matrix
The Boston Matrix is a tool used by marketing managers to make decisions on which products within their portfolio that they should market and under what category on the
Boston Matrix they fall into. There are four sections to the Boston Matrix, problem child, stars, dogs and cash cows. Each category is different to one another as they represent different products on how they are selling. The Boston Matrix can be useful to a business like Cadburys as they have a wide range of products in which they can separate to these four different categories. This can determine for Cadburys which products they could possibly market.
The four different categories within the Boston Matrix are: * Problem Children * Stars * Dogs * Cash Cows
