    Limitation of the BCG model include;

    • Market share and industry growth are not the only factors of profitability.

    • Business can only be classified to four quadrants.

    • It does not define what 'market' is.

    • Does not include other external factors that may change the situation completely.

    Explanation:

    Necessary steps managers should take to overcome the limitations;

    • BCG matrix can be used to analyze SBUs, separate brands, products or a firm as a unit itself. Which unit will be chosen will have an impact on the whole analysis.

    • It is important to clearly define the market to better understand firm's portfolio position.
