G.E. multi factoral analysis

From Free net encyclopedia

G.E. multi factoral analysis is a technique used in brand marketing and product management to help a company decide what product(s) to add to its product portfolio. It is conceptually similar to B.C.G. analysis, but somewhat more complicated. Like in BCG Analysis, a two-dimensional portfolio matrix is created. However, with the GE model the dimensions are multi factoral. One dimension comprises nine industry attractiveness measures; the other comprises twelve internal business strength measures. Each product, brand, service, or potential product is mapped in this industry attractiveness/business strength space. The GE multi factoral model was first developed by General Electric in the 1970s.
