In each division, enter a name, followed by the dollar amount in revenues for that division. Do not include M or B for
millions or billions, but do drop off zeros. For example, for $100,000,000, you could enter $100,000 or $100, just be
consistent.
After completing Step 2 in developing a BCG, enter in the dollar amount in revenues for the top rival firm for each
division. Note, the top rival may be you and in this situation enter in your company's revenue for that division. Also,
note the top rival may be different for different divisions. For example, if your firm is Avon, Avon's top rival in its
lipstick division may be Revlon, but for nail polish, the top rival in the industry may be L'Oréal, and in makeup, Avon
may be the market leader. There is no need to label the top rival by name, but you could mention in class as part of your
presentation. Be sure to enter in all numbers in the same $ format you used in Step 2 above. If you do not have a perfect
apples to apples comparison, (possibly a rival firm combines lipstick and makeup, where your firm separates the two)
then estimate as best you can and make note in your presentation.
Finally, enter in the industry growth rate (IGR) for each division. Generally, taking the top 2 or 3 rivals for each
division (along with your firm), adding their numbers together for the current year and the previous year and using the
equation (Current Year - Previous Year) / Previous Year is sufficient to estimate guess of the industry growth rate. This
is because generally the top 3 players dominate an industry. Note, using this process also weights larger firms more,
which is exactly what you desire. Do not use total revenues; instead, use divisional revenues. Division industry growth
rates (IGR) must be between -0.20 and 0.20. If outside these ranges, simply use -0.20 or 0.20 and mention during your
presentation.
Everything is calculated and positioned for you (Other than Industry Growth Rate in Step 4) including the Relative
Market Share Position (RMSP). The BCG matrix in this Template does not produce pie slices to show profits. You may
wish to discuss divisional profits in your presentation.
Enter in division names below (If less than 5, leave the other spaces blank and no circles will appear)

SPACE Matrix
Include up to five factors to assess each SPACE axis: Financial Position (FP), Stability Position (SP), Competitive
Position (CP), and Industry Position (IP) and the corresponding rating each factor should receive.
You may use the factors provided here, but try to determine key factors related to your company and industry in the
same manner you did with the CPM. The calculations are done automatically and the rating scale is provided below.
Enter in the estimated FP, SP, CP, and IP numbers for up to two competitors. Or, instead of a competitor, you could
show the estimated SPACE values for your firm after your proposed recommendations are implemented, ie a Before and
After analysis. Or you could do both, just cut and paste the SPACE into PowerPoint then refill in the new data. It is
important you fill in all information or Excel will place a circle(s) at the origin of the SPACE since the default will be
(0,0) plot, which is the origin.

Perceptual Map
In this Template's Perceptual Map, you may include for up to 10 product categories.
Enter in the X axis and Y axis dimensions. For example, if developing a map for frozen foods your X axis could range
from "low calorie" to "high calorie," while the Y axis ranges from "low cost" to "high cost."
Enter in the products you wish to compare (up to 10); in the example, these products would be different brands of frozen
foods available for purchase. After entering in the products, rate each factor on a scale of 1 to 9. In our example,
extremely low calorie would receive a score of 1 or 2, and likewise extremely high calorie should receive a score of 8 or
9.
To enhance this analysis, you could mentally draw a line (or two lines) of best fit (through products) and identify areas
along the line that do not have (in this example) frozen food products near the line. In this analysis, blank areas of the
map are typically the most advantageous for new product creation. Any products that fall well above or below the line,
may be over or under serving customers and should be examined closely. Do not blindly follow this rule of thumb
however since, for example, a very expensive product may be well off the projected best fit line and yet serve its small
customer base quite well. You may with this Template wish to develop several perceptual maps changing your X and Y
dimensions. For example, if you are a large food processor, you could examine frozen foods on dimensions other than
the ones used here, or you could examine dairy products or any other related products. Simply cut and paste your
existing map into Power Point then enter your data for a new map.
Enter in up to 10 products

QSPM
To perform a QSPM, enter two strategies in the corresponding green boxes below. These two strategies should be
derived from your BCG, IE, SPACE, GRAND, and SWOT. In your oral or written project, you will need to provide a
recommendations page(s) on your own with the expected cost of each recommendation, ie after performing the QSPM.
The recommendations page is followed by an EPS/EBIT Analysis to reveal where best to obtain the needed capital (debt
vs equity). You should have multiple recommendations, including perhaps both strategies included in the QSPM, and
other strategies for the firm - but no firm can do everything that would benefit the firm due to limited resources.
In developing a QSPM, after entering in your strategies, then rate each strategy based on the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats (factors). Do not give two strategies the same rating for a particular strength, weakness,
opportunity, or threat. (the exception is if you enter 0 to signify a factor "not impacting the choice between strategies"
then you MUST enter 0 for both strategies. For example, if Strategy 1 deserves a rating of 4 on a given factor, but that
factor has little to do with Strategy 2, just assign a rating of 1 to Strategy 2. (Note QSPM's will have 0's across about
one half of the rows). Across each row in performing QSPM analysis, use the rating scale below for AS scores.
0 = Not applicable
1 = Not attractive
2 = Somewhat attractive
3 = Reasonably attractive
4 = Highly attractive
