for companies in terms of profits or reputation. Senior executives actually have to use several conceptual models to be efficient particularly in their decision making. First of all‚ we will determine why conceptual models are so commonly used in strategic management. Then‚ we will describe and explain the BCG Growth / Share Matrix and finally‚ we will evaluate the different strengths and weaknesses of this conceptual model by analyzing and synthesizing the views of several authors.

If this is the case‚ then the matrix B is uniquely determined by A and is called the inverse of A‚

Eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a matrix The eigenvectors of a square matrix are the non-zero vectors which‚ after being multiplied by the matrix‚ remain proportional to the original vector‚ i.e. any vector that satisfies the equation: where is the matrix in question‚ is the eigenvector and is the associated eigenvalue. As will become clear later on‚ eigenvectors are not unique in the sense that any eigenvector can be multiplied by a constant to form another eigenvector. For each

4151 The Matrix directly relates to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. In both works‚ discovering the truth about reality is the major concept. In the cave‚ men are chained up and all they know is shadows of puppets that are displayed before them‚ illuminated by a fire that blazes in the distance. These shadows that the men see on the wall are all they know; this is reality to them. Much like in The Matrix how the people that are in the "Matrix" are unaware of that they are living in a world that doesn’t
