2. SPACE MATRIX
❖ It explains that what is our strategic position and what possible action
can be taken.
❖ It is not closed matrix
❖ Its four-quadrant framework indicates whether aggressive,
conservative, defensive, or competitive strategies are most appropriate
for a given organization
❖ The axes of the SPACE Matrix represent
❖ Two internal dimensions
➢ Financial position [FP]
➢ Competitive position [CP]
❖ Two external dimensions
➢ Stability position [SP]
➢ Industry position [IP]
❖ They are the most important determinants of an organization’s overall

strategic position
The Steps Required to Develop a
SPACE Matrix
4. Plot the average scores for FP, IP, SP, and CP on the
appropriate axis in the SPACE Matrix.
5. Add the two scores on the x-axis and plot the resultant
point on X. Add the two scores on the y-axis and plot
the resultant point on Y. Plot the intersection of the new
xy point.
6. Draw a directional vector from the origin of the SPACE
Matrix through the new intersection point. This vector
reveals the type of strategies recommended for the
organization: aggressive, competitive, defensive, or
conservative.

4. IE Matrix
It is related to internal (IFE) and external factor
evaluation (EFE)
Positions an organization’s various divisions in a nine-cell
display
Similar to BCG Matrix except the IE Matrix:
o Requires more information about the divisions
o Strategic implications of each matrix are different
Based on two key dimensions
o The IFE total weighted scores on the x-axis
o The EFE total weighted scores on the y-axis
16
Steps for The Development of IE
Matrix
1. Plot IFE total weighted scores on the x-axis and the EFE
total weighted scores on the y axis
2. On the x-axis of the IE Matrix, an IFE total weighted score
of 1.0 to 1.99 represents a weak internal position; a score of
2.0 to 2.99 is considered average; and a score of 3.0 to 4.0
is strong.
3. On the y-axis, an EFE total weighted score of 1.0 to 1.99 is
considered low; a score of 2.0 to 2.99 is medium; and a
score of 3.0 to 4.0 is high.
4. IE Matrix divided into three major regions.
⚫ Grow and build – Cells I, II, or IV
⚫ Hold and maintain – Cells III, V, or VII
⚫ Harvest or divest – Cells VI, VIII, or IX 17

5. Grand Strategy Matrix
GS matrix is popular tool for formulating alternative
strategies.
In this matrix all organizations will be divided into four
quadrants.
Any organization should be placed in any one of four
quadrants.
Appropriate strategies for an organization to consider are
listed in sequential order of attractiveness in each
quadrant of the matrix.
It is based two major dimensions
⚫ 1. Market growth
⚫ 2. Competitive position
All quadrant contain all possible strategies
