It doesn't teach you anything, but I quite like the song Atom by British Sea Power. It' more suited to Hank Pym Explains, but I'm not writing that blog.

Notes - Growth Share Matrix
My new plan, as I hinted at in the State of the 102 nation post, is to repost notes that I made as an undergraduate. It won't be answering questions, but it will be giving a little bit of information about a number of relatively diverse topics.
Today, the BCG Growth Share Matrix. BCG stands for Boston Consulting Group and this is a way of planning the direction that you take your strategic business units go.
Organisations are made up of SBUs that compete in different markets. Market share generates cash, market growth uses it.
Stars grow quickly and both consume and generate a lot of cash. Stars are the future of the organisation and their position should be protected. Managed right, stars can become cash cows.
Cash Cowsare mature and support the rest of the organisation's SBUs financially. Windows is a cash cow. Organisations protect their cash cows.
Problem children need lots of funding to survive, let alone grow. Firms should select 1 or 2 children to develop into stars and ignore the rest. They should look to increase their market share.
Dogs do not warrant further investment. They come from failed risky ventures. Dogs should be liquidated or have their revenue collected as they die.

State of the 102 Nation
Currently, there's a string of problems with this.
For one, I spent ages without any motivation or inspiration.
For another, my PC with photoshop is kaput, which means that I can't actually make any pictures.
And thirdly, I let my subscription with my image provider lapse, which might explain why all of my pictures are gone. I'm going to look into getting it back, or another way.
I'm going to try doing a different sort of thing in the interim while I get these kinks ironed out.
