Also, by taking into account features specific to the area in which the company operates, by taking into account the competitive advantage and the modalities of earmarking financial resources thereof, the business portfolio analysis provides managers the opportunity to approach companies from a different point of view and to pay increased attention to all activities that need to be undertaken. The present paper aims at presenting from a conceptual standpoint the Boston Consulting Group II Matrix, its strategic consequences and the characteristic advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the paper will emphasize the importance that the business portfolio analysis holds within a company.
