Spotlight Strategy
GE matrix is also called “Stoplight” strategy matrix because the three zones are like green, yellow and red of traffic lights.
1) Green indicates invest/expand – if the product falls in green zone, the business strength is strong and industry is at least medium in attractiveness, the strategic decision should be to expand, to invest and to grow.
2) Yellow indicates select/earn – if the product falls in yellow zone, the business strength is low but industry attractiveness is high, it needs caution and managerial discretion for making the strategic choice
3) Red indicates harvest/divest – if the product falls in the red zone, the business strength is average or weak and attractiveness is also low or medium, the appropriate strategy should be divestment.
