Frankenberger and Csik, 2014).. Thus, it majorly includes a high risk as it is only when
the new goods are fails in the target market, customer that are existing may shift to the
substitute of the organisation. Therefore, in the worst case study this particular strategy
are to be assist in getting the high market share and also saving the optimum resources
that are needed for capturing the high market.
3. Market penetration- In this particular strategy of Ansoff matrix under which the company
used their existing goods or markets by using the market penetration strategy. Thus, the
risk is less, resources or efforts that are needed that is also affordable. Starbucks can
adopted this particular strategy through evaluating the reasons and areas that can be used
by adopting the product to reach with a larger audience (Papazov and Mihaylova, 2016.
Thus, BCG matrix is that tool which can be adopted for the purpose of obtaining the
better outcomes and invest in the particular area that can be effective
4. Diversification- There is a high risk involve in this particular strategy that is a
combination of new goods that will be developed in the new potential target market.
