This assignment requires a thorough analysis of Colgate-Palmolive's product portfolio using the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix. Students are expected to identify key products, assess their market share and growth rates, and categorize them into the four quadrants of the BCG matrix: Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks, and Dogs. The analysis should also consider external macro-factors impacting Colgate's sales, discuss the company's product innovation lifecycle, and propose strategic recommendations for managing the portfolio effectively.
