fast-growing industry. The hope isthat these
Stars become the next cash cows
.The FMCG and cigarettes industry are the units with high market share. These
units typicallygenerate cash in excess of the amount of cash needed to maintain
the business.

typically "break even",generating barely enough cash to maintain the business's
market share.

consumption. A questionmark has the potential to gain market share and
become a star, and eventually a cash cowwhen the market growth slows.
