What Boston Consulting Group asks4 from public sources
A packaged foods maker's sugar cereal sales to a fast-growing discount chain rise about 15% a year, and the chain is now its largest outlet. Is that growth good or bad for the client, and how should it handle distribution?
First round, why this firm. Boston Consulting Group (own page, Wayback Machine copy)
60% of cereal shoppers are brand loyal; when their brand is out of stock, 25% of them buy no cereal at all. If the chain averages 15% of brands out of stock, roughly how much cereal volume is lost to walkaways?

First round, why this firm. Boston Consulting Group (own page, Wayback Machine copy)
You see three hospital software markets: in two the top five vendors hold about two thirds of share at 25 to 30% gross margins, in the third they hold 25% at 45 to 50% margins. Which looks most attractive and what would you check next?
