The products and services are places in 4 categories being four categories being "dogs," "cash cows," "stars," and “question marks.
As Cash Cows and Dogs are the relevant ones here we will look at them.
Cash Cows refer to Products the company has a relatively large market share in even if the products are in low-growth areas. Real Goods' beverages strategic business unit (SBU) has been recognized as a cash cow which means the market share here is high.
Dogs on the other hand are products for which the company has a relatively low market share and hence don't generate enough cash for the company. They should typically be sold or liquidated like Real Goods Tobacco division.
