Stars are rapidly developing and have a large market share. For rapid growth requires a strong investment. Over time, growth is slowing down and they become "cash cows". Cash Cows, or moneybags are low growth and large market share. They do not require large investments to bring higher income, which the company uses to pay its bills and to support other areas of its activities. Dark horse (wild cats, difficult children, question marks) is the lowest share of the market, but the high rate of growth. It requires a lot of money to keep the market share, and even more so its increase. Dogs (lame duck, dead weight) are a low market share, the low growth rate. They bring sufficient income to sustain themselves, but do not get sufficient sources to finance other projects. The implementation process associated with the use of long-term and tactical plans, policies, procedures and rules are very complex. Despite all the advantages, the model has a number of disadvantages. Many of the factors that affect the profitability of the industry missed. In addition, the model stops working when it applies to the industry with a low level of
Thorndike's law of effect states that a response followed by pleasurable consequences are more likely repeated. And oppositely, a negative consequence would result in the person less likely to repeat the action. With this in mind, we can optimize the factories payment plan resulting in better and more efficient productivity. I will be discussing three payment options, two new plans, and the current factory plan. Within these plans I will be discussing why the two new plans are more optimal for factory productivity, and how the current plan can be improved.

Economic factors play a crucial role in any investment decisions that are made for taking a gain and better return to the investor.

Owners and managers of Alphabet Games, should not make decisions related to running their business according to their own premonitions. They should rely less on intuition, instead, their choices should be supported by hard numbers and analyses. One of such methods is the analysis of five Porter's forces which should be applied before attempting to enter a given market, expand or subsequent development. The analysis serves a purpose to assess the attractiveness of the sector and is based on few different factors that are related to the company's environment: bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, competition inside the sector, the threat of the emergence of new producers and threat of substitutes. This model provides a framework

Generally, this group of customers depends on their impression though the brand, this group of customer has the potential to become a “STAR” category, or it can degenerate to a “DOG” if they do not receive a good impression.
It can thus be seen as “a process by which managers discover where they are, where they want to go, how they believe they might get there, if they are getting there, and, as they proceed, if they still want to get there”. To do this efficiently and effectively, planning must take into account both the company’s complexity and its relevant environment. It does so in many ways, which include forming different levels of planning. Effectiveness of anticipation: The starting point for strategic planning is anticipating an action.
“An organizational strategy is the sum of the actions a company intends to take to achieve long-term goals (Johnson, 2016)”. Organizational strategy is derived from a company 's mission, which tells why an organisation is in business. There are three important aspects of organizational strategy such as resources, scope and the company’s core competency (Johnson, 2016).

From the course Marketing Management, I acquired fundamental understanding in strategic management and key analytical skills in evaluating clients’ needs, leading on to my further consideration on the dynamic between internal and external needs, as well as decision-making. I still remember how Michael Porter’s Five Forces was used to analyze the cases of Nike and Adidas in Introduction to Management Strategy.
