The matrix categorises products as question marks, stars, cash cows, and pets (also known as dogs ). The picture below shows the grid with its four quadrants and product types; cash cows are represented by the dollar sign and pets by a cross.

Can 3-D printers save HP? Image Credit: MKzero. Once upon a time, being a product manager at HP was a great job to have.

As the cliche goes, “the customer is always right.” Unfortunately, most customers can’t agree on what exactly they want. Today’s customer profile most likely doesn’t encompass everyone you plan to serve a couple years from now. And, oh, yeah, customers aren’t exactly concerned about whether your company is making money, as long as you’re meeting their needs.

It was during this era that the Stanford Graduate School of Product Design introduced soft-systems thinking to ambitious young designers; Dieter Rams designed modern appliances with Braun; Xerox PARC prototyped the Alto, an early personal computer that would inspire the Maci
