StrategyMatrix / portfolioAnsoff’s matrix and product market gridHow can ansoff’s matrix and product market grid support strategic choice or positioning?The appropriate route to corporate growth depends on the risk the organisation can accept, its current portfolio of products and markets, and whether it intends to build around existing or new offers and customers. Systematic planning begins with a clear view of the distance between today’s position and the desired future one. The product/market grid and the later Ansoff cube help managers describe that gap and identify possible growth directions.IntermediateStrategicFigures
