(i) The framework assumes that each business unit is independent of the others.
In some cases, a business unit that is a "dog" may be helping other business
units gain a competitive advantage.
(ii) The matrix depends heavily upon the breadth of the definition of the market.
A business unit may dominate its small niche, but have very low market share
in the overall industry. In such a case, the definition of the market can make
the difference between a dog and a cash cow.
(iii) Market growth rate is only one factor in industry attractiveness, and relative
market share is only one factor in competitive advantage.
The growth-share matrix overlooks many other factors in these two important determinants of profitability.
