This PPT slide, part of the 28-slide Strategic Analysis Framework PowerPoint presentation, presents the General Electric (GE) Matrix, a strategic tool used for assessing a firm's position within its industry. It categorizes business units based on 2 dimensions: industry attractiveness and the firm's competitive position. The matrix is divided into a grid with 4 quadrants, each suggesting a different strategic action based on the intersection of these dimensions.

On the vertical axis, "Industry Attractiveness" is ranked from high to low, while the horizontal axis represents the "Firm's Competitive Position," also ranging from strong to weak. The quadrants are labeled with strategic recommendations: "Invest," "Maintain," and "Harvest or Divest."

For firms positioned in the high attractiveness and strong competitive position quadrant, the recommendation is to "Invest." This suggests that these units have significant growth potential and should receive resources to capitalize on opportunities. Conversely, units in the low attractiveness and weak competitive position quadrant are advised to "Harvest or Divest," indicating a need to minimize investment or exit the market altogether.

The slide also highlights key factors influencing the assessment, such as market size, growth rates, competition intensity, and external influences like social and regulatory factors. These elements are critical for evaluating where to allocate resources effectively.

This framework is particularly useful for executives looking to make informed decisions about resource allocation and strategic direction. It provides a clear visual representation of where each business unit stands, allowing for a more structured approach to strategic planning. Understanding this matrix can enhance decision-making processes and align them with overall business objectives.
