Shell Directional Policy Matrix

Shell Directional Policy Matrix
A Nine Celled directional Policy Matrix
The Shell Directional Policy Matrix is another refinement upon the Boston Matrix. Along the horizontal axis are prospects for sector profitability, and along the vertical axis is a company's competitive capability. As with the GE Business Screen the location of a Strategic Business Unit (SBU) in any cell of the matrix implies different strategic decisions. However decisions often span options and in practice the zones are an irregular shape and do not tend to be accommodated by box shapes. Instead they blend into each other.
Each of the zones is described as follows:
Leader - major resources are focused upon the SBU.
Try harder - could be vulnerable over a longer period of time, but fine for now.
Double or quit - gamble on potential major SBU's for the future.
Growth - grow the market by focusing just enough resources here.
Custodial - just like a cash cow, milk it and do not commit any more resources.
Cash Generator - Even more like a cash cow, milk here for expansion elsewhere.
Phased withdrawal - move cash to SBU's with greater potential.
Divest - liquidate or move these assets on a fast as you can.

Public Relations(PR) - Page Three. Public relations as part of the marketing communications mix. Product placement in media. This is an interesting and original use of PR. There are very many examples in movies and TV programmes that 'place' products. For example, a car manufacturer places a car in a movie and the hero drives it, or wears a watch that is looked at by the villain displaying the time, underscored by the manufacturer's logo. Today, computer games include banners and posters during game-play as the action unfolds. Examples of product placement in games would include field sports with adverts placed alongside a pitch, or car racing games where you pass billboards displayed in a city. Lobbying government bodies. Lobbying is named after the 'lobby' area of the British Houses of Parliament where traditionally 'lobbying' would have occurred.
